Weekends away are costly

Distant shot in poor light of some of the Wigeon

Whilst I away enjoying the great weather in the south west, Jon reported a Pale morph first-winter Pomarine Skua had flown south low over Pophills at 7.45am, a patch first.  Then imagine my surprise when Richard Harbird recorded a Honey-buzzard at Morton Bagot.  The Honey Buzzard was then recorded again at the back of Coughton Court by Robert Evans. Two fantastic sightings.


Upon my return on Monday I did call in for a brief visit where the highlight were two Pintail and 17 Wigeon on the main pit. The Greenshank on Pophills has now been present for 24 days. Other birds of note were two Green Sandpipers and a Common Sandpiper.
