Another walk out to Lollingdon today was somewhat quieter
than earlier this week. Still a lot of Thrushes around with Redwing being in the majority with many
feeding in the soggy grassy fields, a hundred or so Fieldfare and the same with Blackbird
but they were more distributed whereas the Fieldfare were in flocks. Also
thirty plus Song Thrush noted (two
in song closer to the village) and all feeding close to hedgerows and a couple
of Mistle Thrush seen.
Four Bullfinch seen
also four Common Snipe and four Teal all in the same flooded field, Goldcrest heard but not seen!
Several Skylark and
Yellowhammer around but no sizable
flocks noted apart from the fifty or so Linnet
on the top field of Lollingdon hill.
A Grey Heron on
the roof of an outbuilding at the Manor house overlooking the pond presumably
to get a better view.
