Whereas on the brink of perform this month’s survey at Hemblington All Saints, I glanced on the pager to find that the lately current Purple-footed Falcon was performing in entrance of Reception Cover on the Fen: i calculated I had simply sufficient time, so grabbed my digital camera and headed south!
As I arrived (round 8.45) I used to be simply in time to see the chicken depart the realm and head south in the direction of Fen Cover: I adopted it! On coming into the cover I used to be happy to search out solely a few folks already seated: one among these was warden Ben who kindly identified the goal chicken on the prime of a willow tree. For half an hour I loved acceptable (if distant) views because the Purple-foot was pushed from bush to bush by the resident Hobbies!
