Hoe Lane North Baddesley: The big gathering of Buzzards is still there, with 33 at 6pm this evening. A few were much closer to Hoe Lane today, so maybe they had been disturbed from the far end of the field which is out of view.
Tried to check from the next footpath along Hoe Lane but frustratingly, the hidden dip was still well out of sight! Might try from Toothill Road, but I suspect you can't even see the field from there.
Also checked out the huge Pig farm near Broughton today. Was hoping for maybe Yellow Wagtail, Wheatear, etc., or even Stone Curlew as an outside bet. However, nothing of interest except a huge flock of Rooks and Jackdaws. Thought I heard a Water Rail, then quickly realised it was one of the pigs! |
