Kentish Plover

This is a big deal! With only 2 birds to see to complete all the birds in my copy of the Observer's Book of Birds the appearance of the Kentish Plover just down the road at Audenshaw reservoir was a gift. Good scope views on my brief visit. All I need now is Ortolan Bunting....

Some lovely garden birds recently, the highlight being two male Blackcaps singing away.
