Christine's walking & birds blog

Just before six o'clock this evening, the herring gulls set up a clamour and I ran outside - just in case. Two huge dark shapes were flying in stately manner across the village (away from me of course), obscured frequently by treetops and houses. Without realising what was happening, I snapped a poor pic of the two white-tailed sea eagles locking talons.


Earlier, we had walked round the village on the warmest day of the year so far, stopping for a drink at the Arch Inn. A whitethroat was singing in bushes behind a house - nice garden tick for someone.


House martins have also arrived.
