A mid morning text from Al Redman followed by a phone call set me heading straight out of work for a cracking male Blue Rock Thrush he had found at Belle Tout lighthouse. On arrival the bird was immediately performing, regularly catching and dismembering Bumble bees, prior to consuming them. Bizzarely the birds left wing was drooping slightly in some poses leading to speculation by some that this may be the same bird as that seen at Stow on the Wold throughout the winter. In any event it was an absolute cracker and a mega find for Al.
Elsewhere I saw the pair of Cattle Egrets in Litlington by accident on Tuesday night, and enjoyed a very pleasant pint of Long Man in the Plough and Harrow.
Tuesday night moth trapping produced firsts for the year in the form of Angle Shades and Nut Tree Tussock.
