On Tour Again 13th July to 28th July

   This tour started with the prospect of buying a Static Caravan near Skegness. so we drove to the site where we parked up the Motor home and settled in. A Hobby made a pass over the site while i was filling the water tank. House Martins, Swifts, Swallows and Goldfinches all over the site.
   The following morning we viewed the Caravan and bought it on the spot, a bargain not to be missed.
   A walk up to the dunes produced very little. A woodpigeon, Lapwing, Sandwich Terns and single Gannet. On Sunday the only thing worth viewing was a Peregrine.



   Next we headed towards home and drove straight passed and onto Evesham for yet another Country and Western festival. not a lot of birdin just a lot of booze gun smoke and great fun but did find Buzzards, Green and Great spotted woodpecker, Turtle Dove and swifts around the site.
   Here we were joined by the three grandchildren and headed off for a week in Norfolk. A visit to Titchwell found usual stuff to be expected along with distant views of  6 Spoonbills.
