Finally got our share of the Waxwings this week, a belated record of three in a private garden
for one lucky observer!
Went in to Wallingford again today and the river level has
dropped by around ten centimetres so providing no more rain it should continue
to drop, although the water table is saturated that will take some time to even
out......... More rain due for Sunday apparently!
A brief (one hour) visit to Lollingdon hill today just
before dusk, a single Buzzard on the
south side was about it but the hedgerow on the west and north side held over
twenty Blackbird, five Song Thrush, three Redwing and a single Fieldfare
finishing off the diminishing supply of haws and berries.
Three Corn Bunting
and two Yellowhammer flew over and a
single Jay seen, the Linnet flock was down to around fifty
and ten plus Chaffinch present, also
a small tit flock comprising Long-tailed,
Blue and Great around twelve birds in all.
Forgot to mention quite a few Starling (c200) also
feeding around the periphery of the various flooded areas yesterday.
