A trip out birding today with Brian Heasman & Ken Montandon with our first stop at Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire where we saw 6 CORN BUNTING , 3 RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE , a STOCK DOVE & a Brown Hare , we carried on then to the old Winchester Hill car park in Hampshire to look for the reported American WHITE THROATED SPARROW & after a short wait we were soon being treated to good views of this smart little bird ! after that we headed for an area around the village of Faccombe to look for RED KITE & we were in luck & see two of them along with another 11 RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE , 2 more Brown Hare & 3 Muntjac Deer & then we had another RED KITE very close to the car Nr Andover .
Our last stop of the day was again in Wiltshire and we saw 38 GOLDEN PLOVER with most of them in full summer plumage & a very nice STONE CURLEW !
