Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

Sunday, November 2, 2008 - Quiet morning round Hengistbury, and more local Lapwings

Originally planned to head west this morning, maybe to St.Alban's head, but instead just took a trip to Hengistbury Head. Place was really quiet birdwise with next to nothing overhead in the very mild conditions. on the ground there were only a few common species, and no hint of any migrants apart from a single Redwing, and one of the Robins looked distinctly "Continental".
Did hear a very unusual song coming from a wren. Reckon it was "plastic song" from a 1st Winter. It was obviously Wren, but not very good with bits missing!

If Hengistbury was anything to go by, St.Albans Head would have been a VERY long walk today!

Back in North Baddesley, Buzzardworld today had 92 Lapwings, and a Smattering of Starlings. Buzzards were just about in double figures.
