Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - Two near misses |
Slightly frustrating today as the best birds seen from the house were both tail end views and unidentifiable!
First was a flock of 18 Geese.. Most likely Canada's, but even they would have been an addition to the garden list.. we don't do Waders and Wildfowl from the house!
Also caught the back end of a large Raptor, that I'm not convinced was a Buzzard, but views were even worse.
Trouble with the Autumn Migration is that I can't see beyond the trees North of the house, all the open sky is to the south. There is a fairly good flyway North / South through the western edge of the village which I'll write about on a quiet day! and it can be good in Spring fromthe upstairs windows.
Did see a handful of Hirundines going East to West in the afternoon, House Martins and Swallows.
Also this evening's Buzzard flock was 28 again. Managed to view the birds from South of the field but this started to spook the closest ones so won't do that too often. |
