    Beachy Bonanza!

    Yes for sure, should really have gone for the Eastbourne ones on the first attempt as they were much more showy. But I was too lazy!! Could have gone after work in the week as well, but to knackered !!! So mostly my own fault!! Had a nice day though and some good birds seen, so can't complain!!

    Great or Lesser Grey Shrike? Greece - Late Spring (May)

    I wonder if there were people back in 1600 saying " I hate what Shakespeare is doing to the language" it's ever changing tis the beauty of it!
