For the past few weeks I have been trying to track down
breeding pairs of Yellow Wagtail and
so far have found seven, possibly eight pairs in the parish.
Providing all the pairs breed successfully this would be a
good number for the area and I will continue to monitor them.
All pairs are in very similar habitat of cereal crops and
one pair so far seen carrying food suggesting young present.
Have been visiting Lollingdon hill on a daily basis for at
least an hour on each occasion but it has been rather quiet, the only birds of note were a Kestrel present and a rarity of a Turtle Dove that flew north over the
hill today.
Young Goldfinch
and Greenfinch now visiting the
garden and four Stock Dove (2ad,
2juv) visiting often and a young Blackbird
being fed today.
