The
first good bird of the spring was found this afternoon, a cracking Chough. IG pulled up on to his drive at 1:00 pm, got out of the car and heard
a Chough calling; the bird was circling high over the promenade and
showing well in the excellent light. It drifted off east and was lost over
the Mount.
