Better Still

Visited a few local-ish spots this evening.  Beehive Flash was poor -  few Teal and a pair each of Coot and Shelduck.

Backworth Flash had a pair of Canada Geese, a Greylag, three drake Mallards and a pair of Coot.

Next was off to a nearby building to try for the third time for a Little Owl.  Third time lucky?  You betcha...................

Again, the shitty-shotty filter is on so no images, I'm afraid.

Better

Chin dragging, shoulders slumped, feet shuffling, ornithologically depressed, I ventured north along Prestwick Carr's path to the sentry box this evening, in search of Tawny Owl, Redstart and Gropper.

Success (1 out 3 will do nicely)!

I have a poor excuse for a record shot but 'the system' won't let me upload it (Blogger has a quality filter, no doubt!).

Pound o' shite!

Yep, today's birding was nothing short of one of Viz's Rude Kid's exclamations.

120 mile round trip to Life Tick a warbler, or spend the driving time locally and save fuel.

The latter was winner, and what a mistake.

Added to the year list or otherwise worth seeing - NOWT.

Three attempts at the Garganey; 3 - 0 to the ducks.  And to add insult to injury, they're back now!

Beacon Hill Woods - Dodosville.

Next time, if there is one, it'll be the other option.
