The ground is beginning to dry out but still a bit soggy in
places.
My usual circular walk out to Lollingdon, the Lees etc.
Lollingdon area was fairly quiet a hundred or so winter thrushes (c60 Fieldfare and c40 Redwing), two Grey Partridge,
a Skylark in song and a Grey Heron, the rest of the area was
quite devoid of any small passerines.Near the Lees and the area leading up to Cholsey hill there were a few more birds, a ♂ Peregrine, several small flocks of Lapwing totalling around one hundred and fifty birds, several hundred Golden Plover in the air at a distance (probably over the Moreton floods), over two hundred Skylark (60+ in one flock), sixty plus Meadow Pipit, forty Linnet and several hundred winter thrushes.

putting out for the Blackbirds, also a Blue
Tit seen feeding on apple.
