Saturday 05/05/12

All the usual suspects were seen today but still no Turtle Dove.
My morning was however brightened up by a small bird which flew up and perched on the top of a tall tree in the field behind the pumping station in Furnace Lane.
As I lifted my binoculars I saw a superb male Whinchat(101). Although I very often get one or two on my patch in the Autumn this was the first Spring record so I went home a very happy man.
