This might be a topic for further discussion=2C but until yesterday=2C I wo=
uld not have thought that Lapland longspurs would land in a tree. I've nev=
er seen them other than on open fields or in areas where vegetation was pre=
sent until yesterday. Some longspurs flew up with sparrows from the dunes =
into trees on a little island spit in the middle of the beach at Cherry Hil=
l. I knew that they were longspurs as I got a look at them before flight a=
nd watched them through my scope for quite some time=2C determining also th=
at these were juvenile birds. Has anyone else ever seen a longspur land in=
vegetation such as a tree or high bush? I would be most interested in com=
ments on this and I believe that others might find this topic of interest. =

This morning David Walmark=2C Pat Gladman and I took a run out to Second Pe=
ninsula. Of note there was a winter wren=2C a yellow warbler=2C and two bl=
ackpoll warblers. Also=2C we saw a very late Osprey.

Tonight around 21:30=2C I was driving up through Lower Rose Bay=2C when an =
owl came swooping across the road and landed on the wires beside the highwa=
y. It was my first sighting of a great horned owl this year although I had=
heard them at a number of locations.
