First destination for the day was Lynford Arboretum. On a rather nice sunny but quite cold morning I saw a Hawfinch within a few minutes of arrival along with a couple of Brambling, Marsh Tits and Siskins. I then went to Mayday Farm and saw about 9 Woodlark. Here are a few photos of Woodlark taken today.
There have been a few Lesser Redpolls in the garden the last few days. There were at least 5 this morning. Photos were taken through the window.
An early start hoping to see some owls at Eldernell on the Nene Washes. It was light when I got there but I still managed to see 5+ Barn Owls and a Short Eared Owl. There was also a pair of Red Kite here that gave very good views. I then went to Holme Fen to see the Rough Legged Buzzard that has been wintering at this site. This bird was always distant so I did not get any photos, another Short Eared Owl was seen here. A pair of crows were trying to steal a Barns Owls prey at the Nene Washes and another pair were harrassing and chasing the Short Eared Owl at Holme Fen.
A couple of record shots of the Great Grey Shrike that has been wintering at Sandy Smith Nature Reserve near Clophill, Bedfordshire.
Sham 69 supported by UK Vomit at The Craufurd Arms, Wolverton, Milton Keynes.
Another away game, another draw.
A game of two halves, Luton were 3-0 up at half time, Cambridge dominated most of the second half and scored twice. Luton held out for a victory in front of a sell out crowd of 10,056. COYH.
A good day out in Cheltenham. A couple of nice pubs and a fairly uneventful match. Cheltenham scored first, Luton equalised within a couple of minutes and nothing much else happened. Not sure about the Thai Restaurant we saw!
Went for a circular walk from Redbournbury Mill and back.
