autumn wheatear

my 1st autumn wheatear today cracking bird typical no camera with me ! maybe tomorrow . Nothing much else about always hopeful a winchat or spotted fly would be nice .

july & august highlights

Two more life ticks in july a fudge duck at minsmere and whilst on holiday in turkey a white tailed plover arrived at rainham marshes . Only staying for a day I didnt think that it was going to be on my list but then after going about the country Jake and I caught up with it in kent along with a purple heron . The patch was pretty quite like every where else but still manage 2 new site ticks being 1 ring necked parakett and 6 greenshank over . I done a sea watch with shaun and dave at cavey point which was quite productive with a bonxie , sevral artic skua and sandwich tern all being year ticks .
