Info Post
Following Dave's posting, re rarer birds;-
A quick summary of some follow-up work Janet & I managed this week.
We visited a birding farmer, who had been contacted by a nearby farm, asking if he could come see what they thought were storks feeding in a field being ploughed.
Ken found himself looking at 2 White Storks! (April 9th)
The 2 birds went to roost in a nearby sand quarry, the birds were not around the following day, almost certainly they were the two that were then on Anglesey! (April 10th) & had been seen moving through Somerset & Gwent earlier on the 9th?

Whilst visiting, useful photos seen of Ken's breeding Little Owls, nesting in buildings in 2008 & 2009, but likely nesting in a stone wall this year.
The farm also has a small population of Hares.
