Under Rydon Hill

Welcome to this blog about my time away from the tedium of domestic management. Once called "Tits and Things", now sub-titled "Life in Quantoxia", there's plenty of bird ringing (90%), some odd bits of general birding, some local steam trains, some personal bits and occasional 'away days' in other parts of Britain. Rydon Hill overlooks the lower valley of the Doniford Stream, where most of these activities take place.

Titchwell 16/08

Popped along on Sunday afternoon to view the progress with the new sea wall (you can't stop an old civ.eng!). For the first time ever, I did not see a single birder that I knew - unless you include Maureen who serves the teas and lives in the village.

Not much about but did manage - Cormorant, Heron, Little Egret, Mute Swan, Shelduck (ordinary ones), Mallard, Teal, Gadwall, Marsh Harrier (and 3 Monty's somewhere not too far away), Sprawk, Moorhen, Coot, Ringed Plover, Golden Plover (lots), Lapwing, Dunlin, Black-tailed Godwit, Curlew, Spot. Redshank, Greenshank & Turnstone. A good few Linnets, too.

Had a lovely, bright-white (male) Barn Owl at Guyhirn (A47) in the dusk.
