| | Welcome to our newest member, adams01 | | Uncategorized Entries with no category  | Posted 24-06-2008 at 09:54 PM by Rob_D Got up early for the long drive to Norfolk and managed to see my first Lesser Grey Shrike at Hickling. Then picked up the Red-Backed Shrike nearby at Sea Palling. Very nice to see both in one small area.
Couldn't see any Honey Buzzard at Great Ryburgh watchpoint. Lots of Common Buzzards and a few "possibles" but nothing I'm at all confident about.

Not sure where the Swifts are nesting, but there seems to be very few this year?
Revisted my Tetrad (TL23Q) and added records for Bullfinch and House Martin. Had a nice Hobby overhead which is unusual since there is no water other... | Officer of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0

"Earnie" the hedgehog seems to have taken up residence in the corner designed for her if the strange coughing noise is anything to go by! Past 3 years she definitely roosted elsewhere and just came visiting.
At last there is the chance of a nest in the garden (or just in next-doors) as blackbirds are building in the spiky hedge. Will keep an eye... | Officer of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
