Local Stars

Nice surprise this morning on a stroll along Snakey Lane induced by Richard's Lapwing sighting! No luck there, although I didn't make it far. 4 Bullfinches (3 male) more than made up for it...

Always a treat to see, especially locally and in an unexpected location. They were feeding in the roadside ditch and adjacent copse...

News broke late afternoon of a Franklin's Gull at NDC!!! An excellent find indeed and a reward for meticulous checking.
