Pretty poor photos!

I make no apologies for butchering your eyes with these photos, No emails if they bleed please.

Cracking night!

Arrived home from work to find a friend of mine waiting for me, He had good news he had spotted a Redstart at Brascote Pits! Game on!
Upon arriving we quickly re found the bird, Could kick me self for not taking the camera. Best i could manage was some shady half arsed phone scope pictures.
It did not end there though, We also got common sand which is a lifer for me not bad for a Thursday evening after work.

Brascote sucked, Not to mention Thornton!

Busy day at work building my self up for some very promising bird watching weather!

Was not to be got down to Brascote pit and there pumping water in, I understand they always do around this time but it killed it for me!

2 oyster catchers 4 little ringed plovers bah.

Thornton was not much better! No sign of the Redstart needless to say, Did have fantastic numbers of House martins and Swallows which is always pleasing!

No yellow wags darn.

Back to working and dreaming lol.

Been a while back with new intentions!

Hello and yes it's been a while.....

I had a house move with a new garden to tend feeders to set, Amongst that lot car troubles and internet issues kept me away!

Enough of the excuses I'm back with new intentions to cover my local areas, Which are and Include: Brascote Pits, Barlestone, Market Bosworth and surrounding areas!

 So whats been happening, Brascote has been red hot I have been down there most days not surprisingly I dipped the Whimbrel  down there Saturday morning lol, Also dipped the Redstart at Thornton Res despite going Thursday and Friday evening!

I have managed some good times though, Picked up Redshank at Brascote pits Little Owl and Yellow hammer were the highlights! oh and not to forget the white wag.

This is my first migration as a birder so let the good times roll!
