Patching at Lytchett Fields

Today I started my Patch and Lytchett Fields here I record all the birds seen in the lanes and fields I walk and from within the Polygone I can record the birds I see out in  Lytchett Bay, The Pools Field, Frenches View Point and Sherford Pools view Point. I set offjust as the rain was being to ease abit but some of the roads on the way were flooded, and walking down Slough Lane at one point the lane was like a small stream almost welllie high in places though this did not detere me from getting to the view points..
It was not a bad start for me as I recorded 38 species of birds on my first trip.
