Monochrome March...and some colour








Grey and damp with everything looking monochrome; Tufted Duck, Magpie, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, etc etc. Plentiful Scarlet Elf Cups in all the usual spots gave a flash of colour. Sadly, no early migrants - was hoping for an LRP or Sand Martins as there were quite a few scattered around the country yesterday. Brief chat with John and Jackie before a last look at Ibsley before the rain settled in.
Nice to see reports of big numbers of Hawfinches at Kingley Vale which might be an option later in the week.
