Had a cruise around the Village yesterday afternoon to check out a few spots and possibly lingering Birds. Last day of February... thankfully!
The Weather was set fair with glorious sunshine and little wind.
I started in the South at Cliff Farm. As I drove up the track I was greeted by a pair of pristine Oystercatchers (40) feeding on the grass...

An excellent start. I spent a good hour up there but the only "action" on the sea was half-a-dozen RTD...
Next, I checked for Little Owl and sure enough it was in residence...
Onto "our Pool" to see if our Rarity was still present...
I also had a sighting of a Fox which is rare here.
Snakey Lane opened with 6 dapper Yellowhammers glistening in the sunshine followed by a pair of RLP at the Western end...
On the return leg a flock of c50 Fieldfares was a nice surprise. A couple of Barn Owls perform well as the sun set. I then added a third on the way back from Tesco!
All within 3 miles of home.
This morning produced my first Skylarks (41) jousting for partners and a brief blast from a Song Thrush (42).
