HowFar?
Ah - I have heard a call like that youngster’s one, usually around dusk, quite a few times over the last few years and never knew what it was. I thought it was coming from the kestrel that seems to nest in the same group of trees. I haven’t heard it yet this year, but it is usually a bit later I’m the year than this that I hear it. Thanks for the information, DT. |

Walking across the green this morning with Ralph, the usual gang of starlings was breakfasting on the leatherjackets. There was one that looked too big and strange - it was only when they all took off on our approach, that I realised it was a lapwing.

That's a fantastic picture of the LEO. Thanks for sharing. I watched a song thrush yesterday in my garden going into a flower bed and emerging with snails. It then smashed open the shells on one of the steps we have in the garden. Feeders are really busy at the moment Fat balls are popular. I'm having to refill every 48 hours. |

Impossible to top your LEO Howfar!! What a fantastic find. Worth reporting to your local Bird/Orni Society for their Bird Report. (Ok..you probably are a member anyway!) Usual spots on my morning run : Lesser Whitethroat singing, Reed and Cettis singing at three sites. The expected other songsters but a pity about the continued absence of Willow Warblers. Great running weather just after dawn. |
