Ashridge walk - Buzzard delight

A beautiful sunny day in Ashridge - a walk with family and friends.

A stunning BUZZARD over , a ROBIN keeping check at the very busy cafe shop and lots of MARSH TIT (?) in the woods along with LONG TAILED TITS.

Family trip to Suffolk

We stayed in a nice caravan near Southwold - I got flu which was nice. Great time anyway and went looking for a Purple Sandpiper along the sea wall at Southwold - managed a few TURNSTONES.
Caravan site right on the sea edge and good sunny days :)

Suffolk Coast with the gang

Bird count for the year - 92!!! Record low score so far !!!
