(which also has some other useful info)Weather was patchy sun and cloud with a strong wind, turning completely cloudy before 2.30pm when I saw it and it apparently is disappeared not too long after . I saw 1 male on 2 brief visits on the concrete ramp on the west side, but others reported definitely 2 with a possible 3rd.
I was a bit jammy and got these 2 shots in a quick 5 minute visit at 2.30pm.
It even landed for a minute at most. It seems to be struggling to settle without bing blow off by the wind!
Hi Neil, great blog and really useful resource!
Are you aware the EU’s looking at weakening key laws which protect birds, animals and plants in Europe? The Birds and Habitats Directives are currently undergoing a ‘fitness check’, but we want your help telling the European Commission to safeguard the laws, not undermine them! The directives have stopped the decline of a number of species and have created a huge network of conservation areas.
We’ve got until Friday night to make our views known on this – can you encourage your followers to put their name to the Nature Alert campaign please, every person helps! http://tiny.cc/naturealert
