No, it’s not a misspelled article about the founder of Motown, but a brief account of this afternoon along the front at Warham Greens and Stiffkey.
I have never seen so many berries as are in the vicinity of the Whirligig. Others commented, too. Elders, brambles, hips and haws in their millions- yes ! I was there, vainly seeking a reported Barred Warbler; instead, I flushed a Baz walker.
Earlier, around 1400 hours, I had gone down the westernmost track and saw ten buzzard-types above the pines at East Hills. Some were even further off: attempting, it seems, to beat into the strongish, easterly wind and might have had a longer profile. My 8x bins were not powerful enough for all this.
However, by the time I’d trudged back up the track, driven the car down and put up the ‘scope, I could only see seven- all Buzzards. They soon moved off in a westerly or south-westerly direction.
There must be some migration tomorrow. (Please.)
2816 Honey Buzzards through Falstabo today. Second highest daily total since the seventies
