Cloudy with showers and a bit of hazy sunshine, 6º, light
NE.
A walk out to Lollingdon and felt a little warmer today as
the wind had moderated.
4 singing Chiffchaff on
the way out, a Mistle Thrush in the Rec
and a Sparrowhawk over the meadow.
Approximately 10 Stock
Dove present in the area and the usual Grey
Heron.
The hill held 6 Wheatear
still around and with 5 Fieldfare and a Starling present feeding on the south face and
a couple of Buzzard and Red Kite around.
I met TW & GW on the hill whilst watching the Wheatear
and TW picked up an Iceland Gull as
we were walking around the hill.
It was with a flock of Lesser
Blackback Gulls and a single Black-headed
Gull and they had settled on the flood area nearby so we decided to walk
down to try and get some closer views. We got closer but the birds were still a
fair distance away as we tried not to flush them off the flood, a few gulls,
including, the Iceland took to the air but soon settled down again.
As we were leaving the hill a Raven flew over and 2 Corn
Bunting (1 singing) were seen on
the wires.
The ♀
Blackcap again in the garden feeding
on apples and a Chiffchaff singing
in the garden.
5 Pied Wagtail on
the roof of the day centre at Marymead and a Grey Wagtail flew up the brook.
