Wooston Eyes : 19th August 2014
A day out to Woolston Eyes seemed overdue, so as it was a nice day we ventured out. As it happens it wasn’t a very special birding day but it was a lovely day and we enjoyed our walk around the site. Apparently there is still one Balck-necked Grebe juvenile still there but the rest have all dispersed so there wasn’t anything special to see. It is, of course, a bit between the seasons but there were still a fair number of Hirundines still around and it is always a pleasure to see the large numbers of Greenfinch still thriving on the feeders there.
