Spring must be on it's way... there was a" froggy free for all" going on in the pond today!
I had a nice surprise on Little Sark this morning... saw a couple of Skylarks flying into a field, A quick look just to check... Hmmmm... eyestripes... meeting at a 'v' behind the head... 56, Woodlark (x2) There's been a couple of reports of them on Guernsey lately. (Listed as "accidental" in the Sark list).
I like your Flickr pages offering an insight into the photographic potential of Sark!
Did the Banana tree produce fruit to any degree?
I had a quick look at your Flickr page. I guess you've already figured it out, but just in case: the writing carved on the rock is Tibetan and says, "Om Mani Padme Hum" (Heart of the Lotus).
The rock is in a beautiful location near the North tip of the Island
A fanfare of trumpets.. the assembled crowd cheer enthusiastically, throwing their hats into the air with gay abandon.... The rumours are true... Sark has (57,) Dartford warblers.
I'd heard they used to be here... and they could still be here... I was told where to look... and have spent three months looking... and today I found them... somewhere else!
They're not a bird I know well, I've not seen one for eight years... mainly because i was in Argyll!.. Lovely wee things, nice churring noise and long floppy tails when they fly!
Other highlights today were Chiffchaffs, Firecrests, Stonechats, Redwings and 3 skylarks
