DRIVING SOUTH

Got up this morning and had a nice full English in the B&B, and headed back towards Wolverton triangle. I gave it another good hour, but there was no sign of the pheasant. Moving on, I stopped at Flitcham Abbey farm to try and photograph some Bramblings, but again the weather turned, and it was hammering it down when I arrived. I did see about six Bramblings in the nearby hedges, but there was no sign of the Little owls I was hoping to see.





Brambling

After this, I stopped off at Tottenhill gravel pits, where I soon connected with the winter plumaged Black necked grebe. 



Black-necked Grebe

A great couple of days birding, which I finished off in London to see my stepson and have a few beers.
