Thursday, August 21, 2008 - North Baddesley, 21st August pm. |
Watched a 4 year old girl come a whisker away from beating her Mum on Mario Karts Wii and decided to grab my binoculars and make a run for it before I got hammered by the Hi-Octane infant!
Some Turf fields between Chilworth and North Baddesley have been filling up with birds each evening for a while now, but I've yet to find anything out of the ordinary there..
c. 100 Starlings,
a few Black Headed Gulls, plenty of Rooks and Jackdaws, plus a single Pied Wagtail.
All were discretely hidden behind a brow until a Buzzard disturbed them. On the other side of the lane was a Spotted Flycatcher.
Also had a Raptor to thank for flushing a Tit flock through the garden. The Raptor was a Sparrowhawk, and the Tit flock contained at least 20 Long Tailed Tits.
Elsewhere, I was quite pleased to pick up a Redstart on Baddesley Common, plus another Spotted Flycatcher. At dusk, a field of stubble on Hoe Lane had 7 Buzzards on the ground. |
