A morning trip with Tristan down to some Dorset heathlands in the hope of adding Dartford Warbler to the year list with a visit to a site that produced this species on two visits last summer. Luck was not with us today though and we drew a blank. However, several Siskin were seen, including a very smart male.
A couple of Yellowhammers flew over and a Stonechat was also seen. The "usual" warblers were about and in song and three Linnets were also present. After a forty minute walk the rain started to fall so we hot-footed it back to the car and headed back home for lunch.
Hi Tim, Haven't read your blog for a while, congratulations on the birth of your son, love his name. I think it's great that you're taking the little man birding so often, I expect your wife does too!
