Sat on chesil beach, enjoying the peace and quiet and scenery and trying to catch a fish or two!! watching various amounts of thrushes and finches arrive in off the sea through the fog.
Large quantities of Redwing and Fieldfare was struggling ashore against the headwind. I did feel for them as it was a biting easterly.
There was a lone Fieldfare that landed on the brow of the beach probably 20 yards away from me. It had probably flown across the channel and was no doubt looking forward to a breather. But almost instantly a Sparrowhawk swooped over the ridge and helped himself to a meal!! I wish I had my camera!
Such a sad end for the Fieldfare.
The fishing was poor, but the birding was much better!
