After a cold, wet day surveying one of our inland tetrads for the Bird Atlas, we had a very early start on Sunday for our Dawn Chorus walk at Lee Moor Farm<\/a>.\u00a0 Ian was, as always, an entertaining host for the event and we walked around the farm, enjoying the songs of Willow Warbler, Song Thrush and Sedge Warbler, excellent views of Brown Hare and Roe Deer and then a delicious breakfast.\u00a0 Our next event at Lee Moor<\/a> is a bat walk, moth trapping demonstration and BBQ on Saturday May 15th.<\/p>\n

Monday saw us out on Atlas work again, this time much closer to home as we are covering the tetrads that are immediately north and south of our house.\u00a0 The highlight was a reeling Grasshopper Warbler, and the closest Tree Sparrows to home that we’ve found so far.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was our first Farne Islands Safari of the year.\u00a0 With excellent views of Sandwich, Common and Arctic\u00a0terns, Eiders, Guillemots, Razorbills, Puffins, Shags, Gannets, a very obliging Wheatear\u00a0and Grey Seals it was everything we would expect the Farnes to be.\u00a0 There’s a good reason that the islands will be the venue for days out with\u00a03 of our photography clients over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Now, it’s Wednesday morning and I’m just packing the Landy ready for a migrant hunt on Lindisfarne with 2 of our returning clients.\u00a0 Wish us luck \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
