It was so hot last week, that sitting in a car with the aircon on was a pleasant prospect.
Once again, we have been keeping a list of the birds species we have seen, in an attempt to see 200 within the year. For quite a while now we have been on 199 and while knowing that we could easily see the 200th later in the year - maybe the Bearded Reedlings feeding on grit trays in the autumn or happening to stumble on a Redstart on one of our local walks, we decided to go down to Leighton Moss as there was a Lesser Yellow-legs that had been seen regularly over the last few days.
So aircon on ..and down to Lancashire. We had good views of the Lesser Yellow-legs and also a single Bearded Reedling flying across the reed tops as well as a flying bittern. Job done!
