July 8 2012

First thing this morning I went listening for Crex crex and didn’t hear a thing, other than Common Whitethroat and Yellowhammer. I have some recordings from the other night, but the bird was too far off for them to be of any use.

So I leave here a spend a pleasant couple of hours at Druridge. Long-eared Owl, Marsh Harrier and Reed Bunting all performing.

Marsh Harrier-8D3E8812

Reed Bunting-8D3E8691

And then, just up the road, and only a very short distance from where we had a female Red-backed Shrike two weeks ago, there is a rather smart male
