Well today I could only manage to get this distant shot of a Eurasian Hobby . It is my first of the year so fingers crossed that I can better it some time .
Also seen was a male Western Marsh Harrier , Cetti`s Warbler , Eurasian Reed Warbler , Sedge Warbler , Common Chiffchaff and a Blackcap .
Tim Andy and myself made a trip up to Swineham Gravel Pits in Dorset to look for a Bluethroat a very rare bird that visits us from Europe some times . And after a long walk we got great views of the bird of the red spotted race of northern Europe .
These birds used to be rarer in Britain but they seem to be turning up a bit more allowing us to enjoy these beautiful birds .
The highlight of the day for me was seeing my 1st Weasel of the year that was seen on the canel path at the Exminster Marshes .
Also seen were the following birds
Common Buzzard . Eurasian Curlew . Whimbrel . Common Skylark . Sedge Warbler . Blackcap . Common Chiffchaff and Cetti`s Warbler
