A celebration of birding and natural history, generally within a 10 mile radius of Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, UK. It would be great if you wanted to share your Ely 10 birding news, experiences, photos, art and video through this blog. Please contact hairyfolkster@gmail.com with your post or to join the authorship, I'll get you on the list quicker than a fly over Alpine Swift.

More Crossbill Traffic
Four Crossbills flew North over the Village College in Soham, chipping away yesterday morning and 2 Siskins were vocally flying back t'other way. A Kestrel had an accident and flew headlong into the window of a parked car and spent the rest of the day, forlorn and confused, stood on a beech stump on the lawn in front of the old school. We checked that it was not in too bad shape and it didn't appear to have broken a wing so hopefully it made a recovery and not become Fox fodder, as it was not to be seen this morning.
