No luck

Went out locally every day over the bank holiday period, trying to find a 'scarce' in the square, to match up with some of those being seen on either side of us, but drew a total blank. Maybe I'm getting worse at this birding lark! My tally comprised of 10 Whitethroat, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Blackcap, 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Wheatear and 2 Greenshank over the garden Sunday afternoon. The Green woodpecker eventually put in an appearance in the garden whilst I was home, and a dash home yesterday lunch time after a couple of Honey Buzzard reports fairly local bagged me a 'kettle' of 9 Common Buzzard over Northrepps.
