    Yateley Common South has a greasy spoon cafe in the layby, whereas Farlington had force five winds last time I was there... ;)

    Well, I guess it's a toss-up on whether you want coastal birds or heathland and lake stuff. If you go coastal, then Farlington is easy - pretty much straight along the M3 and head for the other side of Portsmouth. Good spot, as skatebirder said. Alternatively, if you fancy going 30 miles back...

    Farlington desn't like me. It's the place where my tripods go to die and it's usually blowing a gale when I'm trying to look at something. On a trip back to blighty last September, another tripod decided to part company with itself when I was looking at what appeared to be a Spotted Redshank...

    Something I shall add to as soon as I find something. I'm trying for whinchat on Yatelay Common South where I saw one last year. Have now 'fixed' the scope, so hopefully it'll live long enough to be replaced before completely giving in.

    My only beef with HOS is that the county does extend North of Andover (Fleet Pond excepted, of course). I know it's a bit dull up here in the North, but it's still my patch (when I'm back in the UK).

    New Hampshirite? I'll have you know I had a North Hampshire and borders page on here long before you cheeky beggars started this one. Grr, grumble, grumble... ;)

    Yout think you've got it bad - try at the North end of Hampshire... Had a look for whinchats over Yateley Common South, but as the weather was quite bad I went home a bit early. That and I found that Queasyjet have completely trashed my scope. The casing had come apart, the eyepiece had fallen...

    Crikey - it'll be nice to come back for a few days later this month. I'm just trying to work out how to successfully badger the parents into giving me a lift down that way...

    Funny thing here is that a knot, grey plover and some sanderling turned up here (with some dunlin and curlew) and apparently it was a big thing and I found myself thinking, 'but I've seen all those at home...'

    Ah, so not the only cripples around Farlington then.... ;)

    Limp, you lazy bugger! Very nice seeing the birds out here, but I miss birding my patch in Hampshire...

    Small chance that I'll be at Farlington on Sunday, but I'll have to work on it for a bit...

    There's a thread going for the North of the county and the borders with Berkshire and Surrey: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?p=802409#post802409 It just seems that the North of Hampshire isn't all that well covered, so I started that one. If you didn't know about it, the HOS webpage for...

    Farlington could do with being a bit more user friendly...
