Fat bird of the Barley

Great moment yesterday morning as I did my usual reccie down Snakey. Half way towards Patrington I noticed a plump bird singing the "jangling keys" song in the top of a bush...


Corn Bunting (H.50, P.95)

Great sighting locally...hopefully more to come?

This morning we had a good walk down to Beacon Ponds from Easington. Superb weather and a real sense of Spring in the air. Skylarks heard singing for the first time. As we approached the ponds I noticed a rather dapper bird on one of the Easington lagoons...


Red-breasted Merganser (S.71, P.96)

A Little Egret floated over...

Making my way home at dusk I was very pleased to see the silhouette of my old friend the Little Owl (P.97)at Out Newton.

Bonus day off tomorrow...
