Sunny, 7º, moderate SW.
After yesterday’s high winds and heavy rain there is now
some light flooding in the local area and it does not take long for birds to
make use of these new habitats.
A late afternoon walk along the “Bunk Line” saw a couple of Mute Swans, 20+ Mallard, 100+ Black-headed
Gull, a couple of Lesser Blackback
Gull, 20+ Pied Wagtail and c10 Meadow Pipit all out on the flooded
areas. 8 Lapwing flew over as did
several Redwing & Fieldfare and a ♀ Sparrowhawk
flew through, a couple of Yellowhammer
present in the hedgerow.
Around 100+ Golden
Plover on Cholsey hill still today.
A regular visit by a Sparrowhawk
to the garden recently & both ♂
& ♀ Great-spotted Woodpecker in the garden lately,
also a Coal Tit, Treecreeper and a few House Sparrow along with the regulars.

Wood Pigeon, Stock Dove, Collared Dove, Mallard, Carrion Crow, Moorhen, Blue
Tit, Great Tit, Wren, Robin, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch,
