Equine Resuscitation

Despite my last glass half-empty post, a few good days have emerged, some spoon-fed, some self-initiated.

Bagged my first ever Crameltonian Reed Warbler yesterday thanks to Lord Lindsay of Northburn.

Off out last night and over Plessey Checks, a Peregrine, high and south.  Bonus!

And tonight, a quick check of Arcot for another blast of Acro. scirpaceus and silence BUT this beauty was present!

Belter!

Flogging a Dead Horse

I guess this month requires concerted effort to grind out anything new.

There is a substantial degree of repetition and it is becoming slightly tedious, WH with it's Mipits, Reed Buntings, common warblers and gulls and a duo of delightful Ringed Plovers.  Oh, and these:

I saw a Moorhen there during my first visit today.  The Great Tit pair still bring food to the nest, can't be long before the wee ones emerge.

Arcot is equally predictable, two Mutes plus two cygnets, Mallards (one with four ducklings), Coots and the odd Moorhen.  Size is represented by Grey Herons and speed by Swifts, House Martins and Swallows.
