Page 12 - Out Birding Spring 2023

Sparrow, normally here in large numbers. I have lost all my garden Tree Sparrow (at their height, I regularly had 40 birds at any one 􏰀me) and the situa􏰀on seems to be the same at all of my local birding spots. A sad loss.
We had lunch in the Visitor Centre which gave us the opportunity to get to know Maggie for whom this was only her second GBC event. As we were very wet, we decided to call it a day at 1 o’clock. Our only raptor was a Red Kite over the car park as we were leaving by which 􏰀me the sun was out and showed its colours to full advantage.
