14th September

A great days ringing yesterday. Great in the sense that i got to ring a Cettis Warbler at the farm. There has only been a handful of these birds at the farm over the years. So i was amazed when Mike said that he had just caught one in one of his nets. Well done Mike

10th September

A quick visit to the farm today. My objective was to photograph the Whinchats, but they were no where to be seen. So had to make do with the macro lens. Frankie and Swiftie had a red kite that flew over my head!! Must try harder to look up

9th September

A good days ringing today. The triangle produced a nice juv green woodpecker and the Southern edge of the lake came up trumps with 10 Sedge Warblers. Buzzard count was high, which was to be expected with the warm weather. A total of 35 sightings during the course of the day. It seems that these are local Buzzards that are coming in for a look at the tip, leaving and then an hour or so later coming back for another look. We put the total down at 15. Its impossible to tell how many. A great white egret popped in for a look at the lake and soon realised the error of its ways and buggered off again.

Pyramidal orchid

A quick visit to the farm today to catch up with the ringers and photograph an orchid that pinpoint had found earlier in the week. Haven't decided yet if i prefer a white or black background for plants.

Its that time of year when the birds have disappeared so its out with the macro set up.
