Bullfinch!
With Important Things to do, I've been getting there later than may be considered ideal, though as Wheatears tend to arrive from mid-morning [and I've sat and watched them come in/off late afternoon!], not exactly awful.
Sunday saw me slightly less late, and so I met assorted members of the Usual Suspects [who know who they are :) ] and spent ::ashamed coff:: more time nattering [in a socially distanced way, of course] than looking for birds... Oh dear.
[Ok, technically we were looking out for birds while nattering, so maybe not that bad. ::puts the Shame Bell away::]
Anyways, fruits of labours were very thin on the ground on Saturday in particular, though Sunday gave a couple of GNDs and a Razorbill on the sea.
This little lady has been much in evidence;
Kestrel!
"Wheatears?"
::Burps::
"I didn't do that."
Also in evidence there was this poseur...
"Ru's got nothin' on me, dahling"
Ahem.
Meanwhile, over there....
Buff-tailed Bumblebee!
Rainforest escapee
In case you were wondering what was going on at Home, my skygarden is overflowing with as many as a half dozen tits at a time. [I'm sure there's a funnier pun around that somewhere...] Blue, Coal, Long-tailed, and Great, indeed. Greenfinches [no more than 2 at once and very flighty], Blackbirds, too. No further sign of Blackcap, and no sightings of tree spp. [like Nuthatch.... or even the Treeeeeeecreeeeeper.... ], though of course that doesn't mean there's none coming in.
Tawnys keep their vocal nocturnal mayhem, at least 3 males hooting away as recently as last night*
Though I finish this on Tuesday, [and no, still no Wheatears, and with the shift in weather no likelihood of any any time soon..], 'tis only about events up to the end of the weekend. Yes, more has happened, though how much you get to see I have yet to decide. Regardless, you do have some pretty pictures coming, though.
Upon that ponder, I shall
Be Seeing You...
[[* For a given value of 'last'... ;) ]]
