Tuesday 31st March 2026.
On my morning walk with the dogs around the block, I heard a Redwing flying over and quickly turning around, it was seen flying low over the rooftops heading south. This is obviously a late bird making a somewhat completely different route towards the Isle of Wight. I do hope it gets its bearings right!
Yesterday, a winter plumaged American Golden Plover was found at Bunny Meadows, a site me and the guys managed to find our first Spotted Redshank at the end of February. The long primary projections and the face pattern quickly told it apart from the closely resembled Golden Plover. Golden Plovers frequent this site throughout the winter and can be in good numbers roosting on the salt marsh here by the River Hamble.
Finally, I am away for 10 days to Lara Beach, in Southern Turkey with my wife; a well earned relaxing long break and it should be very good for birds too with migration now in full swing. I shall not be taking my Laptop with me, but I will be taking my Camera and Binoculars. So, hopefully, some nice photos of the wildlife out there when I get back. So, while my son and daughter will be house-sitting and looking after the dogs, it leaves me to say thank you for reading my Blog and look after yourselves.
