Inspired by Devil Birder, I have decided to pay a lot more attention to Cow Field (more detailed, better patch map coming soon). I scanned back and forth about eight times in the hope of a Wheatear which absolutely has to be on there, the habo is so good. I couldn't pick one out but I'm sure it just evaded me. There was still a Chiffy about and the Red Kite overhead. I also notched 22 Lapwing, up on yesterday and at least 10 different birds were displaying.
Up on the Airfield I picked up another Red Kite high up but I reckon it was the same individual and yesterday's fem Brambling but otherwise it was quiet.
Just as I got home, I got a call from Aaron saying he had four Swallows over Blackmoor but I decided not to go for them, I'll wait for them to come to me.
My camera seems to be just about dead, it managed to take a photo today but focus seemed unheard of.
That Kite is giving itself up nicely. Thanks for showing me round yesterday, it was very nice to meet you at last.

Yeah, best views yet today, reasonably low overhead (Cow Field). Would have made a decent pic but for the lack of a usable camera. I hope to be down at Canons next weekend.
