Above and below: One of the few summer migrants to be seen was this young Blackcap, feeding on elderberries.
I came across this albino rabbit whilst out. I've seen black ones around, but this is the first albino.
Saturday, 9 August 2008
It was still, and sunny when I set of for a four hour walk round the patch at 06:30 this morning. However by the end of the walk conditions were turning windy, and heavy cloud drifted over. A disappointing total of 42 species was recorded, with common species such as Dunnnock, Songthrush, and Mistlethrush not being found. Summer migrants were few also, only BLACKCAP, CHIFFCHAFF, and LESSER WHITETHROAT were seen, along with the SWALLOWS and HOUSE MARTINS. There was no sign of the Spotted Flycatchers in the college grounds, but a KINGFISHER flew off one of the ponds there. The only other thing happening today was the continued flyover of Gulls, LESSER BLACK BACKED, HERRING and to a lesser extent BLACK HEADED GULLS, were all trickling over.

Greenie,
I'll need to pull a few rabbits out of the hat, if i'm going to reach 100 species this year!

Nice Blackcap pictures Warren
We get a few white and some black rabbits among out feral populations here. Escaped pets perhaps.
Warren: I hope you didn't try to follow that rabbit down a hole, you know what happened to Alice.
