JUNE 12TH 2012 - ANOTHER PICNIC

Dawn and I spent the afternoon down by the riverside with our good friends and newly converted birdwatchers, John and Mary.

 This lovely Turtle Dove was one of two coming down to drink on thje opposite bank. We also saw Kingfisher, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Serin, Linnet, Woodchat Shrike, Eurasian Nuthatch, Pallid Swift and Red-rumped Swallow.
 

A pair of Cirl Buntings (male shown below) joined Corn Buntings, Blue Tit, White Wagtail, Little Ringed Plover and Booted Eagle onto our list.
