Swift movement

Lots (precise term) of Swifts moving South the last couple of days. Always the chance of "a rare" amongst them, although the spectacle in itself is unmissable!!

A walk with Louise revealed a surprise breeding record in the Village. Herring Gull chick on a local chimney stack! Nice.

Today's memories from the annals as I trawl my Blog sightings...

• The Cliff Top Pond which gave me my only Water Rail record 15/9/14. Sadly no more...

• My DUSKY THRUSH twitch which could well qualify for my top ten "Rush Birds" on reflection? Click on the "red bit" as per usual...
