        Wigeon, hundreds have arrived here and now in their smart winter plumage.

                      Today, for the first time in my life, I was an arms length away from a Kestrel! Oh my, what a handsome face!! :wub2:
                      I really, really wanted to take a photo so I could post it, but was advised not to so that it wasn't caused any stress (he's injured).
                      So: no photo (boo, hiss), but had to share anyway. He really is such a gorgeous bird!

                        A slightly better pic of the N American vagrant Lesser Yellowlegs with Lapwings and Dunlin.
                        Still here in Weymouth for over a month now, should be in S America!
