It was childcare for me all Saturday but some diversion was provided by two Spotted Flycatchers in the garden in Oving. I was called "jammy" for this...better not mention the two Pied Flycatchers, RBS, Hoopoe etc.then...;-)
A shout from HR on Facebook and a zoom down to Climping on Saturday night got me Long-Eared Owl in flight and Short-Eared Owl and a rather baffled youth in a Saxo wondering what all the people were doing in the area. The deal's off pal!!
At Church Norton for the Wryneck on Sunday but dipped it, never mind, at least it wasn't a Black Stork! Some recompense with at last a decent Sedge Warbler picture (I know they're easy but not to me! Just need a Lesser Whitethroat pic now!!) and a couple of Whinchats, Spotted Flycatcher in the Churchyard and a Greenshank in the harbour. Also present, Small Copper, Common Blue, Holly Blue, Gatekeeper & Meadow Brown.
