Alrewas Birder: August
http://alrewasbirder.blogspot.com/2014/09/august.html
A simple blog, not very interesting but ok I suppose (just like the writer then). Friday, 12 September 2014. The majority of August was spent around the local lakes with 5 Black Terns. At WH being a real bonus. Not a lot special was around as it was the time of year when birding goes a tad quiet just before the migration. I had a great day at Birdfair spending loads of money and then at the end of the month a fishing trip to Gloucester was an ideal opportunity to catch up on a nice Marsh Sandpiper.

A simple blog, not very interesting but ok I suppose (just like the writer then). Thursday, 18 September 2014. This start of this week I was away on a mini golfing holiday, mini as in length of break not the type of golf! Anyway we were up in Shipley in South Yorkshire and during one of the nights I lay awake enjoying a Tawny Owl. Flying over.The highlight was not the golf, that was pretty pathetic, but I found a gorgeous ale, Ilkley Gold. Absolutely stunning. Several Chiffchaff, Wigeon. At least 6 Ruff.
