No Glaucous or White crowned Sparrow!!

Not having earned enough brownie points for a week end away, meant missing the Sparrow, another Mega missed this year already, Still it's only a Sparrow, curse curse.

and not a sniff of the Glauc. The mindset being as the tips were not working the gulls stayed there to roost??

It was a nice day so spent the morning at the Priorslee Balancing lake, not real productive but a couple of new ones for the year, 5 nice Bullfinch and a group of Siskin. The remainder consisted of Wigeon 2 of, Gadwall 5 of, and a very nice Grey wagtail.

As it was Sunday, I knew it would be busy at VP but I just had to go there as I needed the Pintail for the new year list, at first it was just not visible but a minute later it sailed out from behind the Sallows, a stonking Male.

So nailed it was after Brambling at the feeder station, stopping of on the way for a Redwing feeding in the meadow.

With the bright light it was much easier to get a reasonable shot in the feeding station area than normal, the first was the target Brambling.

As I was there and things were a poppin I dropped a few shots in to the bag for the stock / archives.


As I said or should have done, nothing spectacular today for the county but I am sure tomorrow the mega will arrive, when it will be a lot quieter all over the place, yahoo!

A parting shot !!

Not to much but hope you enjoy?
