Kev, by the way the three plovers we had at 7.30. Were ringed Large black breast band the give away. Well done on Little ringed. Well will tomorrow bring more forum Luck lets hope so.
Interesting record that one - maybe the male from last week, but it hasn't been seen at all.....so, quite possibly a new bird. Thanks for that.Terry Smith said:A quick look at Brucklands pools last thing only produced a male Tuftie
In this neck of the woods the word 'only' cannot be linked with 'Tuftie' unless an even rarer beast is included in the same sentence, eg. 'The Ring-necked Duck had done a bunk, leaving only the Tuftie'.Terry Smith said:A quick look at Brucklands pools last thing only produced a male Tuftie......
I'm sure Phil is having a lovely time in the Canaries......Steve Waite said:Im super glad everyone who wanted to, got to see the bird......
Ah, that picture brings it back. I recognise them easily as Brummie Grockles (Homo moronius), quite common on the coast as they often leave the dull boredom of their existences in the Black Country and it's environs to leap off our cliffs in desperate attempts to seek a minor thrill. You should try Berry Head as it is swarming with them.bob hastie said:The third one has me completely stumped, I saw this fly past but have no idea what it is, any ideas?
Sorry Jez - meant to respond to this before. Thanks for the tip. Think I'll be looking for adders a bit more often now that I know for sure they exist.... |=)|cupradude said:Just to let you know gavin i have had Adders on the estuary,on the hedgerow by the campsite at axmouth,mightbe worth a look!!

Andrew said:Now, now, Gavin, don't tease inland county patch workers like this convert by using the words "only" and "Wheatear" in the same sentence!
Still searching hard for a local Wheatear for the third year running......
Ha ha! Ok - thanks Steve. I wasn't really appealing for House Martin gen, though! I'm sure I'll see one or two soon. Now it looks like I drive around with blinkers on......actually I probably do...Steve Waite said:There's a few flying around in Colyford - opposite the Wheelright, they've been there a couple of days now.
