Blashford

Initally poor weather, improving, going downhill and finally brightening up for the drive back. In a very quiet Tern Hide a sudden whoosh of wings was an incredibly close Peregrine which eventually departed westwards.
About fifteen Pochards and a few Goldeneyes.
Four or five Kingfishers today on Ibsley, Ivy Lake, one or two along Dockens Water and finally one perched up briefly on reception pond, where a Firecrest was calling from within a tit flock.
Walter flew in from Rockford and was visible from the southern screen.
Just one worn Quaker in the trap and this November moth on the wall.
