Morton Bagot - Sunday March 16

 The cold weather persists, and a visit to Morton Bagot was pretty quiet.

The nearest thing to a highlight came on the drive there. I spotted a pair of Red Kites landing in a sheep field.


But at least the blog has let me upload a photograph of one of them.

Dave joined me and we met Mike Holley who was just leaving, have been present since 06.30. He hadn't seen much and said that the flashes had been frozen. This probably explains the absence of the pair of Avocets and Shelducks seen by John Chidwick yesterday.

Mike had seen a couple of Stonechats, and we went on to see one of them, plus two Green Sandpipers. a few Snipe, Lapwings and Teal.

I'm pleased to report we saw two Lesser Black-backed Gulls and three Black-headed Gulls. Nothing too taxing.
