I'm an aviation buff and enjoy wildlife, mostly birds. I dabble in photography. Also keep cactus and succulents. Thanet.

A fabulous fast and low run down the runway at Manston this morning. I was prepared this time.

Chinooks still regularly use Manston. Keeping a military interest going in these quiet times.

A kitchen window tick on Christmas day when this kingfisher appeared having found a neighbour's pond in central Margate.

Pretty quiet between Minnis and Reculver but I found my first Clouded Yellow.

I had a good week in Corsica. Cirl Bunting is a new bird for me.

I set myself a challenge to find a cuckoo at Pegwell without hearing it first. I succeeded. It made no call in all the time I watched it.

Rather overcast at Pegwell but it was good to hear my first Nightingale of the year and see and hear my first Cuckoo too.

I didn't see or hear anything new, but thoroughly enjoyed the green at Blean 😌
