Hello,

Decided on some evening watching for a change, arrived at 18:45 and left at 21:00, with the sun setting it was a picture.

Egyptian Goose - 5
Common Tern - 3
Linnet - 37
Great-crested Grebe - 1
Green Woodpeckar - 1
Turtle Dove - 1
Plus 12 other species.

The geese and Turtle Dove were first sightings this year, so I'm a happy chappie.

Ably assisted by D.J.

Cheers

Hi intellectual,

Pleased to hear about the Turtle Dove...

Had a couple on my patch last year, but no sign yet this... will keep my eyes (or more likely my ears) peeled from now on.

Hi Dave,

This isn't MSQ, but a new place I've recently found, right on the doorstep, with a cafe just up the road, couldn't be better.

Can certainly recommend it.

Cheers
John
