Well, its been a while since I've seen much very interesting. I seem to have missed more than I've seen by way of Birdlife. Missing the Corncrake at Alvecote while I was on hols was a big disappointment, then dithering about cost me the Elegant tern. There have been one or two local birds - the Middleton Red necked Phalarope was well worth seeing as were the 4 Bee - eaters at East Leake, Notts. and the Spotted Sandpiper at Belvide. A Red Kite circling over ,the soon to become houses, fields off Higham lane was a bedroom window tick but that's about it really. Also found a couple of localish sites for Grey Partridge although one of the sites is in Leics. A few images from the past 6 weeks :
