ON FRIDAY WE WENT LOOKING FOR CIRL BUNTING AND WE WERE
NOT DISAPPOINTED. THERE WERE MORE THAN WE
HAVE EVER SEEN OF THIS VERY PRETTY BIRD.
A GOOD RESULT FOR THE CONSERVATION EFFORT.

CIRL BUNTING
WE PAID A VISIT TO DAWLISH WARREN YESTERDAY TO VISIT FAMILY
SO MADE A QUICK STOP AT BROADSANDS FOR CIRL BUNTING.
THE WEATHER CLEARED BUT WE ONLY SAW 3 OR 4.

Tales of the unexpected.
Not a lot of pictures for two days birding and what there is are really only record shots, from quite a distance, but one bird from yesterday and another today were unexpected.
Obviously the whereabouts of Cirl Buntings is quite sensitive and we came across this one in
a flock of 200-300 Chaffinches.
Spring must be on the way as we saw several Bumble Bees, this Small Tortoieshell and what

Spring must be on the way as we saw several Bumble Bees, this Small Tortoieshell and what
we think is a Muslin Moth Caterpillar.
FRIDAY:
Started at Poltesco and flushed at least 5 Woodcock. In the bay were 7 Great Northern Divers and 1 Red Throated.
We spotted the Hen Harrier while driving past Goonhilly Downs and I took these very distant shots from the car. By the time we had parked up and walked onto the moor, it was gone.
As most of you know I have been struggling with flight shots. Having followed Steve Roger's advice, I am starting to improve (I think), but as the blue sky will tell you, I forgot to alter the iso's. Good job it wasn't something rare. Sue
