Parti-coloured Bat


A mega rarity this one apparently. Taken into rehab after being found at the Royal Free Hospital in London.

Three Little Beauties








Cracking birds these. Very skittish due to the bank holiday weekend activities at Willen lake but also very obliging for the camera as they kept to the eastern shore.

Cock Linnet

A wander up Wood Lane this evening produced 18 Linnets, a Corn Bunting, a pair of GSWoodpeckers in cop and two rattling Lesser Whitethroats. Unlike other years I am seeing Lesser's but so far not many Common's.

Rattlers


Plenty of Nightingale activity at Little Paxton this morning but all-too frequently into bright sunshine and frustratingly further away than ideal. Maybe time to dust off that digiscope gear.
