And despite my prediction that the Trumpeter Finches would be long gone, and it's probably a waste of our time, and we would draw a blank today,
Doh
Amazingly within a minute of arriving they were all around us contact calling, today mostly juvenile birds. Most birds seen at any one time were 12, other birds seen at the site 2 juvenile Black-eared wheatear 2 Black Wheatear, Spot fly, Black Redstart, and Red-legged Partridges. Almost the same birds from a week ago.
So we keep going trying to get the last date of these Finches and at some point try to find where they winter
From our feedback from social media and other platforms, it is probably the best breeding season for Trumpeter Finch in recent memory and is considered to be of regional importance. And for this reason, the site will not be revealed.
Other birds seen
A few Pallid Swift still, and one Alpine Swift also an Ocellated Lizard, other than that it was quiet.
Second breakfast and slab of Lemon Drizzle cake and a mug of tea, we headed home, content that our efforts are making a difference to the knowledge base.
information received from another Trumpeter Finch site is being checked out.
Be InTouch
Have a fun-filled day
Happy Days
Ta-Da
