Cheek! good job I'm not marrow-minded
otherwise I'd be most offended at your 'ageist' joke.BTW, well done on your Rough-legged Buzzard (even if you needed the Hubble Telescope to see it).

Saw another Goshawk on Saturday, just two miles away, how big are their territories, anyone?
Also, one of the Red Kites around the plateau again yesterday, they've returned very early this year, 18 days before the previous earliest, hopefully they won't regret their decision when the next cold snap comes along (as it surelly will).
This morning, I heard a yaffling Green Woodpecker nearby, followed 10 minutes later by the 'yelping' call of a:
41 Black Woodpecker
from the forest further up the mountain.
Later on a species I don't see every year here, and normally an Autumn 'uncommon', flew in from the south to land in the field:
42 Meadow Pipit

Nice one, think I would attempt that too for a Lammergeier. Certainly a wow bird for a garden sighting ..or near-garden as the case may be

You're trying to avoid me H, I'm coming over to Yorkshire for 4 days from Friday (just leave the key in the usual place, and a stock of food for me will you?)

Ah well, next time I visit my Mum in always misty Wetherby I'll try and get up to healthy Holmfirth too.
I'm hoping to sneak away to try and see the gulls at Rufforth while I'm over this weekend, I haven't seen any 'white-wingers' for a long time!

Well these are the birds I've seen this year in my compound.
Kingfisher-2
Little Egret-About 6
Blackbird-Many
Spotted Dove-Also many!
Azure-winged Magpie-A few flocks
Vinous-throated Parrotbill-One flock, probably somewhat around 10 birds
Yellow-browed Warbler-Also a few flocks
Long-tailed Shrike-10
Light-vented Bulbul-12
I'm sure I've missed out a few...I can't remember all of them.

Thanks, good advice, I like what he does.
Hopefully one of the friendly local larophiles will help me and point out any Delusional Gulls that may be present
