Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - Lots of movement, and new arrivals
Quite a few birds seen from the house today.. A steady passage of House Martins flying East in the morning, followed early afternoon by a steady stream heading West!
In the distance 3 Buzzards were soaring for much of the morning, and another large Raptor looked subtlely different but was too far away to get anything on. A very distant Raven was slightly easier to i.d. as it soared high up in the sky.
Closer to the house, our first Grey Wagtail of the Autumn arrived, and gave us point blank views in the front garden. Also a few Jays are starting to appear looking for acorns, and the trees beyond the back garden were teeming with Blue Tits, Great Tits, a Coal Tit, Nutatch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Chaffinch and a Male Blackcap.
Very frustrating to see all the reports of East Winds, Wrynecks and Honey Buzzards sweeping the country whilst stuck in work.
Feel like doing this on the PC Keyboard!.... (TURN YOUR PC VOLUME DOWN FIRST!)
