RE: Lymm area


A Hobby high over Spud Wood this afternoon causing panic amongst the local Swallows.

17.00-19.00

Walked from Lymmhay Lane along Sow Brook to the ship canal and back.

Birds seen, 1 Buzzard and 3 Jays. Whilst on the MSC were 1 Great Crested Grebe and a pair of Mute Swans.

The wheat was being harvested whilst I was there, so the fields of stubble may well be worth checking out for finches in the autumn.

Otherwise I can't see me doing this walk again for a while at least, Sow Brook is choked with balsam, and there is a very limited view of the MSC at the end of the path.

Visited a couple of times over the weekend for the reported Quail, but only heard it calling away in the evening.

However it was a case of third time lucky last night when at last, the Quail flew out of the crops to re-locate further down the field.

A fairly short flight but still enough to get a decent view through the bins of what is a very difficult bird to see. biggrin.gif
