Pale-bellied Brent Goose on the Imperial rugby ground yesterday. In with c90 Dark-bellied Brent Geese. Also - 14 Pied Wagtails there.
This strikingly pale Buzzard flew over Bystock yesterday. Not a bird I've seen locally before.
Linnet - one of c40+ on Orcombe Point today. Pretty quiet up there otherwise.
It's that time of year when the local Yellowhammers return to their breeding sites. This male was singing this morning, on Withycombe Raleigh Common.
