Official News: SPRING!


Spring is here! Woooo!


Yes, that's right, at last I've found a Wheatear!!!!!!!!


At Hope's Nose this morning, tarting about the rocky bits of the South Side. Never close [and vexed by a blimmin' Crow, too..] it was a typical 'early type' male.

And now... The truly awful white blob Wheatear pics!

Itsa Wheatear


No, really, it is


Just very far away.....

Shock then followed, as a male Stonechat got jealous enough to forget to fly off in time;

Gotcha!

Also of note, Mrs. Kestrel nailed a small lizard!, and there was much activity among the Guilles, though the present mistyfog prevented any attempts at counting them. Having delayed my visit for Wheatears, there was no vismig to be had [assuming there was any to begin with..].


Also of note was the point-blank Nuthatch on the RF feeder this morning as I was hanging laundry in front of the window..! Meanwhile, out across the valley, a Green Wood alternated drumming [nice and loose] with yaffles.


Ah, Happy Happy Joy Joy...



[For once said without irony]
