Not much to report.............

...........so i don't know why i'm bothering !!
Prestwick Carr Friday lunchtime for a couple of hours brought.....err....hang on.......i'm thinking......oh yes, a Kestrel and some Blue and Great Tits.  No Great Grey Shrike and no Short-eared Owls.
Thursday p.m. again for a couple of hours. One spent on the west side of the Rising Sun brought 3 Goldfinch, that's it. The other hour spent at Killy Lakes. Loads of birds with the excitement being generated by 17 Goosanders and 10 Goldeneye.
There y go.
Telt yu.

  4. They are beautiful small finches that always catch the eye with their stunning gold wing bars.
    Thanks for your comment.

  6. Cheers Sam,
    It took me half an hour to confirm how many Goosander i had. They spend some time under the water and come up some distance away on occasions so i had a few varying counts to begin with !
