Happy days!
Anyways, call from the Guv'nor as I drove home from work that he had the Wessie H Cuckoo in his sights. Bargain! Then a text to say that after he had ticked it, he had mysteriously lost it! Hmmmm, 'creative accounting' afoot me thought. But no, within a few minutes of my arrival and the world's biggest frown, voila!
Digiscoped over 150 yards:
Home in time for tea, with lashings and lashings of ginger beer, another Guv'nor message, this time a Whinchat. Off we go again, this time with my trusty hound in tow to 'bag' 100 for the patch for the year:
And added Swift for good measure as there was a fly eruption on the larger Flash and it was Swallow/House Martin/Swift frenzy!
Plenty of these about (any floraholics know what it is?):
And this egg, found stone cold along the side of a wet field, and left there. Laid by?
Liver.........read y comment on Stringers.
ReplyDeleteThe Bluethroat at Hartlepool Headland was showing very well today. It went missing for a short while a few times but always came back to the garden at 15, Cliff Terrace. If the bird at High Newton isn't there for you tomorrow and you fancy heading down to Hartlepool if it stays put there.
A BOBBY DAZZLER !!
Gordon the egg is from a Grey Partridge.
