The weather forecast for the next few days is very
Beddington Farm friendly. Easterly winds cloud and the possibility of some rain
all combined with the end of September makes things very interesting indeed. I
am glad the weather continues into the weekend! I always have one eye on my
phone at this time of year. I use rbnUK news which can be linked into via a
twitter account.
The Farm experienced a good passage of Meadow Pipit and Wigeon
this morning and Buzzard started appearing from all directions. On my phone there
were regular reports of Yellow Browed Warbler (YBW) in the country. I have seen
a single YBW in Surrey at Blackwater Park on 7th March 2007 which
flitted between the Hampshire and the Surrey border. I pondered the thought of
one turning up at the Farm!

Bird of the day a Marsh Harrier waited for the afternoon to
show itself. It was greeted with the usual Crow welcome but did stick around
for a short while before getting fed up with the attention it was getting and
flying off NW.

The E winds continue tomorrow which means more one eye phone
watching and hopefully the weekend will bring a fall of birds at the Farm.!
