Marsh Harriers are fairly frequent visitors to the Holmpton Area...fortunately. However they're not a regular sight on the Cliffs! So, Tuesday's experience was special. We were up at Cliff Farm enjoying the view and sunshine when a young Bird suddenly rose above the Cliff right in front of me. I thought it had gone straight through but no...it remained for a good 30 minutes!! Probably the best prolonged views I've had of this Species locally...
Don't tell anyone but these were my first Village Cormorants (82) of the YEAR!!!
Obviously lots of youngsters around at the moment including Pheasants and Partridges. With my recent Quail record (field now harvested) they're always worth a second (optimistic) look. So, when I spotted a smallish Bird along a stubble field edge, I gave it a prolonged look...
