Had a walk today, when I went shopping - about 150 Golden Plover, 300+ Woodpigeon, 60 or so Lapwing, a dozen Skylark, very few crows for some reason, Turnstone and Knot on the shore, a roosting group of gulls (BHG, HG, CG, LBBG & GBBG), a little covey of Red-legged Partridge, and one each of Kestrel & Merlin. Not bad for an hour and a half between two villages.

As you say T0ny, not bad for a short shopping trip! How near are you to the coast then?

Thank goodness, I thought you were gonna say you saw them frozen in your local Sainsbury's!

Peter,
According to the map, about half-a-mile. When I walk it, anything from 30 minutes to an hour !

It's not always as good as that, Tony - sometimes I only see Waxwings !
