Something rare this evening. No photographs. My visit to the patch did produce some birds, but they had a rather familiar ring to them. 57 Lapwings, 10 Green Sandpipers, five Snipe. There was a small increase in Teal, now 22 present.
As I strolled back, feeling slightly glum I must admit, a notable bird flew towards me, then swung round and retreated to the pylons. Only my second Peregrine here this year, the last being on 8 March. I strode towards it, and after 50 yards checked it was still there. It was. Probably a juvenile. Out came the camera. Now which section of the pylon was it on? Still there. Focus the camera and...oh. It had gone.
Morton Bagot just hasn't read the script this year.
