Mine is sighting the White-tailed Eagle at Old Basing a week last Monday, flew overhead being mobbed by Buzzards and Corvids, seems it can't move anywhere without what must be a very irritating entourage. The size of this bird was immense, dwarfing all surrounding it. |

some interesting highlights.
White Tailed Eagles must be awesome to see. Still to see one myself.
Going out today in the hope of seeing Waxwings before they head "home".
Seen loads of Waxwings this migration but they are just lovely birds and I like how they let you get pretty close to them.
Saw my first Water rail (there were two actually) in December and I reckon it will be a long time before I see one/two again. |

I would like to see with the Lioness;
A Red Kite
A Goshawk
A Spoonbill
An Egret
Simple enough? two of them have been at the local resevoir but not when we are
Red Kites are everywhere except near me
Goshawks at displays but not wild ones

Simply the masses of singing bullfinches at Castor Hanglands NNR. I love bullfinches but there are just so many there its fantastic!

Best bit of the year so far is the other day watching the grebes courtship and blackcaps at Chew Valley Lake.

Cheers,
Adam | That does rather beat a handful of singing bullfinches!
