Posted on August 30, 2015 by hootbot

Spring and Summer Catchup

Posted on August 30, 2015 by hootbot

In between holidays we’ve done a reasonable amount of local birding, but I’m only going to go through the not-necessarily-chronological highlights, rather than spend loads of time trying to remember everything… It started with a day out at Bramfield before … Continue reading →
