I've spent my daily exercise time walking to and from Bingham's Pond and Dawsholm Park LNR and been rewarded with a nice range of birds.

So, during the last 4 weeks my birding has been limited to a couple of open spaces within walking distance of the house and I've seen 43 species and for once the weather has in the main been very good. The only down-side is I sprained my ankle on my last walk and am currently 'out of action'.
I'll aim to update the blog in another 4 weeks time but in the meantime, stay safe everyone.
