JAN 21ST 2013 - NEW YEAR LIST

LYME REGIS AND TRINITY HILL NATURE RESERVE, DEVON

After a shopping morning in Yeovil Dawn and I decided to drive to the coast at Lyme Regis for lunch. We set off at midday, it was fairly bright but still quite cold and frosty.

We stopped at Trinity Hill which is a piece of heathland found just west of Lyme Regis. It was covered in deep snow so it was just me that went for a short walk. The first bird I found was a Reed Bunting, unusual I know but it was there. I also saw a Goldcrest, a Wren and a single Waxwing which flew off as I approached it. I never had my scope with me so I tried to get close to digibin a photograph. Just after that a got a short glimpse of a small bird with a long tail, it quickly disappeared into the scrub underneath the snow and it wouldn't come out again. it was most probably a Dartford Warbler but I can't count it because I never fully identified it.

At Lyme there was an unbelievable change in the weather, it was warm and sunny and not a single snowflake in sight, how extraordinary! After a lovely lunch in our favourite pub  I walked to the Cobb and into the woodlands above the bay. I didn't see any Purple Sandpipers but listed the following birds: Dunlin, Rock Pipit, Pied Wagtail, Long-tailed Tit, coal Tit, Blue Tit, great Tit, Song Thr4ush, Fieldfare, Redwing and all the common garden Birds.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THESE FOUR PICTURES WERE TAKEN ON THE SAME DAY AND JUST FIVE MILES APART!!! INCREDIBLE.
