9th March

For the time being I'm giving the blog a rest as its another time consuming job that I find difficult to keep up with, plus I only get about 20 hits each time which doesn't make it worthwhile.

However, my flickr site is always kept right up to date and now Facebook.

Nuthatches at Bossenden Wood

23rd Feb

Made a visit to Bossenden Wood and photographed the nuthatches in the cold weather.





Dunlin and Fieldfares.

16th Feb. 18

Another visit to Seasalter hoping for better dunlin shots finding just a few along the shoreline with turnstones. On the back field were 105 curlew plus c.600 golen plovers and c.300 brents. Lapwings were plentiful with c.400 dotted about over the fields.





17th

No birding but a drive out in the afternoon and a stop for a cup of tea at Brogdale with the wife was rewarded with seeing several fieldfares in the car park.






18th

Lovely sunny morning after the frost, spring in the air and great to see the barn owl flying around at 9.30 plus a marsh harrier later on.  I went on to Oare marsh but it looked extremely quiet with  only a few pintail and shovelers close to the road.........went home.
