Had a nice r&r weekend in Hastings. I laid down my binoculars for most of the weekend but couldn’t resist a walk along the coast on Sunday. Had loads of migrants overhead heading west including Meadow Pipits, Swallows and ‘alba’ wagtails.
It’s not always about rarity hunting.
Hi David,
thanks for your kind sympathies posted on my blog.
PS I particularly enjoyed reading your article in this months 'Bird Watching' Magazine, I always enjoy reading about your 'Scrubs' exploits, stats and statistics ๐
Glad you had a good time in Hastings, David ๐ I grew up there and still enjoy going back, just not for too long… over the last year or so it's turned into a great place to watch Ravens! http://mazzaswildside.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/brighton-and-hastings.html
It never is about rareites for us David. We got excited when our first green finch turned up on new feeders this morning. See what I mean. We've lived here to three months now and we're getting a nice selection birds visiting – including a sapprow hawk!
