HowFar?
Just cycling down my lane this morning and three curlews gently glided to a landing in the field in front of the bungalow.

My first ever definite hawfinch today - that's a biggie for me! I was planning a trail run so decided to drive out via the place I went the other day, where they had been sighted (although I had drawn a blank). I wasn't hopeful as I hadn't heard of any sightings since Thursday, but there were a couple of guys there who had seen a couple, fleetingly, that morning. As we spoke, a hawfinch flew over and landed, obligingly, on the top of a tree some way off. A short while later I got a much better view, once again of one perched at the top of a tree. I also saw 6-7 in flight a short distance away, then another 2 in flight slightly nearer. I left with a big smile on my face! It's a bird I've wanted to see since I was a boy.

Apparently there was a sand martin at Burton Mere in Cheshire over the weekend. Must be spring! Despite indications to the contrary. My brambling is still hopping about under the feeders. |
