Property in Pennine Walk, Tunbridge Wells

The house has just gone on the market, shout if you want it or call up Sumner Pridham. #TunbridgeWells has lots going for it.

We plan to move to Norwich and Taverham is a favoured area - it’s also where we saw an overwintering Hoopoe on this day 1994 (on a school playing field, no idea which one).

My Swarovski STS 65 HD scope, with 20-60 zoom is available, although lens caps missing. Comes with stay-on case (front lost its lower clip). Tripod available. Know any local young birders who may like it? - free of charge @landguardbo.bsky.social @landguardbirder.bsky.social @david-walsh.bsky.social

Had to go over to Unst today to pick up my car that’s been there all autumn. Took the opportunity to go to look at 2 Long eared Owls, managed to find a third bird there as well!
Best I could do in dull light, the other 2 were even more obscured.#Shetlandbirding
