One, two, three locals too!

Yesterday there was jobs to do before going out, we were thinking of going further afield but why is it jobs always take longer then planned! Is it just the walls of my house but holes to drill develope into great big holes, etc.

Anyway, we just stayed local and had a drive around. In Wykeham Forest we saw Robin, Mistle Thrush, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Gold Finch, Long Tailed Tits, Kestrel, Jay, Dunnock.

In a clearing a pair of Crossbills were coming down onto the ground to feed. The birds were straight into the sun, the shot posted is purely for the record.

Around Wykeham Lanes there was a good number of Fieldfare and Redwings with numbers of Starlings.







The highlight was three Common Buzzards phewing overhead. Like Radipole the sky was clear, maybe not six birds as there but three was pretty special, a bit higher in the sky but the pictures convey a little of the bright sky and atmosphere. One bird went into a stoop.

Nice to get a Crossbill Mike and lovely shots of the Buzzard. From what I read on their website, Portland Bird Obs is the place to be now as a lot of the spring migrators are coming in already.

Hi Roy. I hope to get closer to the Crossbills like some fellow bloggers (see Steve Race/Steve Round/Dave Mansell).
We are usually in Dorset around 28 March, went a bit earlier this year. Thanks for tip will take a look at Portland's website, should be a good month ahead.
