West Berkshire
We did only a short walk today from Bury Down car park, as Greger wasn't feeling well. However - he has bought a new camera (a Nikon Coolpix P90) and was determined to try it out. He took the yellowhammer at full zoom, handheld in a strong gusty wind and cropped it further on the computer.
On Hodcott Down there were two grey partridges and a fine but wary male wheatear.
This local shower is typical of the weather today - several times we saw columns of rain falling in the distance, but apart from a few spatters of hail, they missed us.
