I made the most of the warm and sunny weather (it’s raining now!) that we’ve had over the last few days and managed to get out and about and photograph some of the local birds.
A Corn Bunting glowing in the early morning sunshine.
I found this pair of very confiding Stonechats…
The male
The female
I was very lucky to catch up with, what was a lifer and the highlight of the show for me, a reasonably rare (although there have been quite a few reported around the country just recently) Great Grey Shrike.
Distant views at first…
It was very flighty but I did manage to get a little closer…
Over four days of ‘local’ birding I managed to see fifty two different species of bird, all within a twelve mile radius of home. It was a good and enjoyable few days birding.
