Saturday - other bits
Went to check on the feeders am - Gt. Spot hanging on one of them. Both almost empty as were the centre ones! Took a stroll with DB. before going back to VC. Ranger not around so had to wait until pm to access store where our peanuts are kept. Feeders very busy. Many rabbits, several Blackbirds, a Song Thrush, pair of Bullies & the usual Goldies also around the Rough. On way back, 115 Lapwings south @15:10 and the fg male Sparr circling over the Beefeater plantation. Lots of squabbling BH gulls around the car park. Wont be long before they all b****r off to the Wash.
