Bearded Vulture again!






Today was a little bit mental. Yesterday Josh Jones worked hard at piecing together the various sightings from non-birders of the Bearded Vulture around Spalding. At dawn five of us were standing in the dark near Moulton Chapel when Hugh Wright found the bird roosting in a tree by the road. We had fantastic views of it at it's roost then sat in a field. After work, I visited the bird at Cowbit where it showed really well to the crowd. It appeared to roost on a Rooks nest in the village. After all the effort to go and see this bird in the Peak District in July, it's amazing to see it less than 10 miles from my house! What a mad week locally!
