Sunday, August 31, 2008 - Buzzards joined by a Peregrine |
Scanned a few fields during and after the heavy rain today. Most were empty or filled with the usual Black Headed Gulls and Starlings, so it was left to the Hoe Lane Buzzards to rescue the afternoon.
Still 19 there today at about 4pm, so plenty of time for numbers to hit the high 20's after I left (Numbers have risen again since my previous post, to a staggering 37 at one point!). Scanned the surrounding area, and was pleased to find a Peregrine perched on a distant pylon. It was definately an adult, probably a male although it was a long way off. Nice find as we don't get many Peregrines immediately north of the M27, though sightings increase further north into the Downs. South of the Motorway, the Lower Test Marshes, Keyhaven and the coast get regular sightings. |
