Cloudy, 8º, moderate SSE.
Water levels down a bit and the mud is very sticky making
progress awkward along most pathways.
Several Bullfinch
in the millennium wood again, still quite a few berries on some of the bushes keeping them in the area.
Very quiet in the fields between the Bullshole and
Lollingdon and was unable to locate any of the larger winter thrush flocks and
the first time this winter I’ve seen more Redwing
than Fieldfare with 100+ of the
former and a handful of the latter, c50 Blackbird,
10+ Song Thrush and a single Mistle Thrush.
2 ♀
Sparrowhawks in the vicinity of
Lollingdon hill with one hunting the hedgerow to the SW of the hill and another
to the East and flying off towards Halfpenny Lane. A small flock of 8 Long-tailed Tit in the hedgerow on the
west side and a few singing Robin on
the hill, the south facing side was a bit windswept and not surprisingly was
very quiet.
Good numbers of Gulls around especially on flooded areas and
c200 Lapwing and a handful of Golden Plover with the gulls near the
pig fields.
A couple of Buzzard,
a single Kestrel and 5 Red Kite also noted.
A Goldcrest in
song along Honey Lane yesterday.
Long-tailed Tits
Black-headed Gulls on the playing field
Lesser Blackbacks on the floods at Lollingdon
Distant Gull flock and Lapwings near the pig fields
Not sure what these guys were doing hovering low over a field near the Lees
