Bird highlight this week was undoubtedly the two Avocets I found on the small floodwater pool near Langlands. This is my first sighting in the parish.
I have trudged the couple of miles to this pool right
through April and May and have basically seen nothing so I nearly didn’t bother yesterday.
A couple of years ago I drew up a list of target species I
would like to see in the village, with these birds it’s now only White-fronted
Goose and Ring Ouzel outstanding.
This was a short local week as I have just come back from a great
trip to the Carpathian mountains in Romania. As well as superb landscapes and
interesting history/culture I saw some cracking wildlife…
Wallcreeper (yay!!)
Map butterfly
Tau Emperor moth
Bird's Nest Orchid
Yellow Wagtail (Dombrowskii)
Fire Salamander
Sand Lizard
