In between redecorating the hall and staining the garden furniture (rock and roll), I managed one visit to the patch this weekend (Saturday), and a second visit of the year to Welbeck Raptor Watchpoint (Sunday). Collingham was quiet... the highlight was a family of Shelduck with 10 new ducklings on Mons Pool.
Welbeck today was at full capacity, but I found a spot next to Alan Clewes, and after 2 hours a Honey Buzzard cruised overhead at about 1240, circled back round, and then disappeared off to the west. No Osprey this time, and no Red Kites - having now seen Monty, Osprey and HB this year in Notts, Red Kite is beginning to be a bit of a glaring hole in my Notts yearlist...
