The overcast conditions cleared this morning with lovely sunshine though gathering clouds mid morning showed the next front to arrive is not to far away. Out with Dave for our Friday coffee and cake session this afternoon and meeting up with Bob before a walk out to farborough spit. Red-necked Grebe showed very well and had a few admirers though some should be drug tested after thinking it was a Great-northern Diver? Also showing was the Little Owl and while watching this with Ollie and Francoise the Merlin shot past leading us a merry dance trying to keep up with it. Meadow Pipits 40, Fieldfare 35 and Shag only other birds of note.
A drive along Flecknoe Rd produced one Stonechat at Grandborough Fields Farm and a flock of 500 Fieldfare and 100 Redwing feeding just right of the farm, 3 Buzzard also seen.
Steve Seal had a good session with the Red-necked Grebe this morning so no apologises for publishing more pictures as they are bloody good. Cheers mate.
