Every Cloud Has One

 It is doubtful any of us across the UK have dodged the wrath of the 3 Musketeers, 

Dudley, Eunice and currently Franklin but it does make things a little easier when a Silver Lining from each brings a New Speices of Bird for the Year. The first, as part of a small northerly movement of Gulls on Saturday, at least c2 vocal

 MEDITERRANEAN GULLs,

without photographic evidence, followed on Sunday

at great distance, at full zoom

and also recently  predicted,

PEREGRINE

with white face markings discernable and

a couple from the locker

for more clarity.
Yesterday, and on no more than a whim, we returned to the largest of the

Stubble Fields,

found 'blank' in the first instance, to find just a single

LAPWING

tucked into the

Grassy Margins

On our return the tack was filled with

CHAFFINCH

with some bathing and others feeding but what also maybe heard on the clip the
Wind Speed was also Increasing, so a farewell to the

Prancing Ponies
or maybe

Phriskie Phillies?
and a quick diversion across the road to the Airport it looked as though the

ROOKERY
had not lost a twig - well built ay?

PS - pity Franklin could not have sent one of his GULLS 

FRANKLIN'S GULL
a rare visitor from the America's!!
