Bratley View, New Forest - Sat 23 Apr

Leaving Ellie's mum and dad after a very enjoyable and relaxing stay we headed up to the New Forest and decided to try our luck and give the Black Stork another go! The bird had been viewable from the car park at Bratley View between 12.00 noon and 2.00pm for the past three days, so we were hoping it would do the same today. To cut a long story short...it didn't!
In very hot weather I did manage to see a couple of soaring Goshawks and several Buzzards. On the ground a Stonechat was looking very proud on a gorse bush. But after two and a half very long and hot hours we gave up and headed home...only to find out that a Black Stork had passed over Yeovil at 3.00pm!
