Thank you for all the advice - I hadn't even considered eBay, which is daft. I'll take a look at what's on there & also keep an eye out for any Aldi/Lidl action.

A lone whooper on the river, a new commuting tick for me. Hopefully it will find its friends again and not get left behind...
Stunning bird up close

I'd almost gone past it (oh, swan...) before I realised what I was looking at. It was calling so fingers crossed it's just a bit lost rather than ill...

I had a new visitor to my garden today a very noisy nuthatch. He liked the food in my bird feeder as was back and forth all afternoon.

A run this evening by the river so a fair few very splendid cormorants tonight. And a swan hunkered down on her nest. Once I finished a mallard all but waddled into my open car. Very curious.

First few golden plover up on the moor yesterday morning, along with a load of mippits and skylarks doing a rather elegant airborne courtship dance.
Also what looked like a large raptor. It didn't look quite l;ike one, but the only answer I can come up with was a raven ... unless there is something unusual about.

We’ve just had a Sparrowhawk sitting on our upside down wheelbarrow demolishing a Sparrow. Sticking to correct name today rather than a Robinhawk thankfully.
The garden birds all went pretty quiet for a bit. It sat on the fat balls on it’s way out the garden as well as if you make a point!

Bresser 8x40 from Amazon, forty quid or thereabouts.
A late lone Whooper there Kinky. My first Willow Warbler singing this morning, usual date in my location. Loads of Blackcaps this year.
