Thirty species and counting

After a few days absence over the switch from 2014 to 2015 the Pheasant which has taken a liking to our garden has reappeared this afternoon.

Also this afternoon after a brief visit from one of our friends as they were departing a female Hen Harrier took off from the long grass of our lawn, with what looked like a prey item in its claw, and headed over to our bit of heathery moorland.

These two take the 2015 species list to 30.
