The weekly trip 12 miles down the road to the supermarket always offers a chance for some off-patch birding. This week we kept it short and had a quick look around a small wetland/farmland area right by the supermarket (Brandsvig). Here in ten minutes I had my first skylark of the year (spring is coming) and another hunting rough-legged buzzard.
Back in town we headed for the big playground by the river. Whilst the two eldest played, Number 3 and I nipped off down river. Not much doing, but heard a kingfisher (another year-tick, scarce this year) and a few goosander floated about.
