A taste of things to come in March
After a good mornings birding this morning and the weather non birding friendly this afternoon plus the amount of public out to enjoy the sunshine I aborted this afternoons watch and caught up to some serious gardening and car valetting, that was after the usual shopping expedition of course.
With 4 days left of February I,ve put together a few birds that I,ve had locally in March from previous years, just something for you to look out for.
Osprey 25/3 Fly Flatts
Dunlin in winter plumage 4/3 Mixenden
