Saturday, May 3, 2008 - BTO Timed visit. |
Completed my "Early TTV visits" for the BTO atlas survey this morning. Managed about 35 Species on farmland in the North West of Hampshire, the highlights being Stone Curlew, 2 Corn Bunting one of which was singing in someone's garden, albeit on the edge of a large Crop field. Also plenty of Yellowhammers, 4 Grey Partridges, and many Whitethroats. Also a noticeable passage of Swallows throughout the morning, all heading North.
Sewage works at Middle Wallop had a couple of Grey Partridges in the adjacent field, but not a lot else.
Running the Moth Trap this evening and it promises to bring in a bumper catch. Already a few Pugs clinging to the window and walls, and a very smart Lunar Marbled Brown picked up. |
