A Sunday morning walk up Quainton Hill was hard work. Weather was very poor, and not much at the top.. 4 bedraggled looking Wheatears and a Lesser Whitethroat about all to show for it.
Checked out some farmland on the way back to Milton Keynes: Footpath went straight through the middle of a wheat field, then through the middle of a ploughed field, so suspect only the hardest of walkers would make it to the other end! Plenty of birds in the ploughed field.. 5 Wheatears, Displaying Lapwings and Skylarks plus a couple of Tree Sparrows in the hedgerows.
monday evening, ventured out to Salden, a small lake looking good for Bats but only a few Natterer's and Common Pipistrelles. No Daubenton's unfortunately.
