Overcast, rain showers, 9º, light S.
The day started early with a Wren in the garden in full song at 03:30 this morning and another Wren in the meadow responding, this
went on until at least 05:00 which is when I last looked at the clock!
2 Sparrowhawks
over the garden mid morning (♂
& ♀) and a
single Moorhen still visiting.
A walk out to Lollingdon was curtailed by the rain today,
got as far as the other side of the Bullshole when the rain came down so
sheltered for a while then made our way back home as it looked as though the
rain was in for the afternoon.
Species noted on our brief walk this afternoon were, Mallard, Red Kite, Moorhen, Black-headed Gull, Lesser Blackback Gull, Wood
Pigeon, Stock Dove, Collared Dove, Green Woodpecker, Great-spotted
Woodpecker, Pied Wagtail, Dunnock, Robin, Song Thrush, Redwing, Mistle Thrush, Fieldfare,
