So it's up early setting off at 5.30 am this morning in the hope that we will see a lifer for Jimmy & I.
On arrival at the farm we park in the free farm car park that is open from 7 am to 7 pm.
Three people are on site & all have cameras out pointing at the farm buildings,it's looking good for us as we ask have you got it ,yes comes back those lovely words.
So scope up & we have another lifer to our lists. The bird showed really well for over an hour flying from one barn roof to another along with some Yellow Wagtails .
One of the birds turns out to be a Blue Headed Channel Wagtail that was a nice looking bird pity we can't use it for a tick but nice to see it.
When the Bunting disappeared we wait for a while to see if it returns but after half an hour we pop up the road to Wigborough Bay for a quick scan & pick up a year tick as we see 7 Greenshank on the middle scrape.
Off to Abbotts Farm about 3 miles away so Jean could get some walking in. As we leave the car we hear our first Cuckoo of the year, not a lot about while here but we only came for the walk but Whitethroat & Lesser Whitethroat were seen.
