July 2011

The summer dundrums arrived and so there wasn't alot of stuff about to see or to find yourself anywhere. Hampshire highlights included Turtle Dove, Nightjars and Long-eared Owls at different undisclosed sites. 4 Spoonbills at Needs Ore (16th), with an Osprey there (23rd) and finally a Black Tern was off Hill Head (24th).

The only bird I left county for was my third Stilt Sandpiper at Lodmoor RSPB (also 24th) which was in pristine summer plumage albeit at range.


I left for Tenerife on the last couple of days of the month for a relaxing holiday with Emma and her family.
