Decided to bird a bit of the countryside near my brothers relatives this morning as I was in the area. It was just a case of turning up and seeing what I could find, with 40 species found in total including: Tree Sparrow (several) Yellowhammer Red-Legged Partridge Willow Warbler Chiffchaff Blackcap Buzzard Great Spotted Woodpecker Cormorant Lesser Black-Backed Gull I do like to cover my local patch, but this made a pleasant change and will give it another go next time I'm in the area.
