Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

• Friday, April 7, 2006 - More Wheatears @ Quainton

Now 7 Wheatears up in the hills, a group of 4 on the East side, and 3 on the North Slope.

Only other birds seen were a single, very skulking Willow Warbler, 12 Fieldfare, and around 20 Meadow Pipits.

Also noticed 2 decent looking areas of bushes in the distance, and a ploughed field which I didn't have time to explore today, but will hopefully check out over the weekend.

The walk up Quainton Hill is becoming a full blown trek to cover all the decent looking areas now.

 

Also 4 Wheatears are being regularly seen from the road, so the total may well be in double figures by now.

 

On return journey to Milton Keynes, there was a Swallow on wires in Great Horwood village.
