Another year and another home patch, such is the life in science. However at least this time it might be a patch that lasts for a while. Anyway, finally I get to live by the sea with the chance of some migrants
For those who have never been there, it is Wembury on the south Devon coast.

Not a bad patch bird!!


Grey Phal was a nice find a couple of weeks ago

and a nice garden visitor
The best garden visitor however was todays…… a juv Rose-coloured Starling!! A lifer for me too as I have never been that bothered about travelling to see one – nice!!
lucky you!
What a great local patch! You're going to find a ton of stuff. Look out for rare American alcids!
