I was surprised how small the Hairstreak was, it's just luck, I'm sure you'll find one, one of these days :-)<br /><br />Hi Simon, Thanks, it was a really rewarding visit :-)Alan Paveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286527051679271536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-38574528198947056792011-04-24T16:52:52.039+01:002011-04-24T16:52:52.039+01:00Great selection of birds there Alan!Great selection of birds there Alan!Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438823520353948635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-76456950360685907242011-04-24T15:08:44.155+01:002011-04-24T15:08:44.155+01:00It sounded like a very rewarding and enjoyable vis...It sounded like a very rewarding and enjoyable visit Alan.

Lots of whitethroat, goldcrest, a few stonechats, a good view of a redstart and I managed to spot a woodlark right at the end even if I had to check with the experts if that's what it was!! (Give me 40 years' practise...) Getting on reasonably well with learning songs and calls, added linnets and redpolls to my repertoire today. Hope you are having a good Easter Al.Rachel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773651457721195072noreply@blogger.com
