Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Not the best image I'm afraid, but wondered what this little chap could be (last spot of my holidays). Is it a redshank? The legs were certainly a shade of red, but difficult to pick up on the bill.

Hopless at waders.

I sat on my back step for 15 minutes yesterday.

House sparrow 2
Long tailed tit 8
blackbird 1
magpie 3
blue tit 2
jackdaw 6

wren 1
Robin 2 (they had a row) I couldn't work out shades of red either.
1 unidentified thrush

I should do that more often.

I was supposed to go to Arne this morning but the outing's been cancelled due to lurgies. :(

bonners--it would only be one of the redshanks (Redshank or Spotted Redshank) if it had any shade of red legs.
Brr..wriggling Snake...I'm guessing the temperature was higher there than here in South Wales..step-sitting a no no at the mo! Nice selection of birds though.
Lurgies abound, especially coughs right now, pity about yours angelrose.

Actually steve, it was the others with the lurgy - so far I've managed to avoid it. *crosses fingers as she types that* ;-) I went out on my bike instead and was surprised to see a load of oyster catchers on the beach amongst the gulls in one spot - most unusual for Bournemouth beach. :)

Nice parkrun spotting Heinz. :)

Never been to Arne, a couple of weeks back we were at Martin Mere, very cold, so sunny, and sun so low, we could not identify an awful lot, we are pants at it though...

Bullfinch outside my kitchen window this morning, a new one for my garden list. Of course it had gone by the time I had got my camera.
