Here there everywhere today. Highlights being 30+ Mediterranean Gulls and a Little Egret on the Fleet, a Common Buzzard being mobbed by gulls at Wakeham and a Kestrel carrying a vole by Portland Heights Hotel.
Southwell
Sadly not seen by me, but heard this morning and seen for the past week or so, there has been a Common Rosefinch (also known as a Scarlet Rosefinch) seen in a garden in Southwell.
Here is a link to the PBO Blog where there are a few photos of this finch, which would have originated from Asia. It was first noted on 20 Jun singing and then visiting feeders.
