A Beautiful Day!

Singing Corn Bunting
A beautiful still sunny morning after the fog quickly lifted, a wander out the back of Scotney had to be the order of the day. I was joined by OL in seeing and hearing 100+ Skylarks, 1,000s of Lapwing and Golden Plovers, a few Curlew. good numbers of Corn Buntings, Reed Buntings, Tree Sparrows, Goldfinches, Linnets, Meadow Pipits, Pied Wagtails as well as all the feral geese and wildfowl, Mute Swans, not forgetting the 2 Whooper Swans, Common Buzzards, Ravens and other Corvids. It was simply a joy to be able to see birds all around and lots of them.

An excellent couple of hours this afternoon in the company of OL & DG on Lydd Ranges this afternoon. Above and below are some atmospheric images (meaning rubbish) of 1 of the 2 Short-eared Owls with 2 Barn Owls we enjoyed watching, also 5 Marsh Harriers through and a Great White Egret there.
