Overcast, 10º, fresh SSW chilly wind.
A visit to the hill today showed not a lot happening, a
fresh chilly wind blowing on to the south face put paid to any small passerines
being on that side of the hill, a Kestrel
and 5 Red Kite enjoying the updraft
and one of the kites carrying a piece of wood or bone?.
6 singing Robins on
the hill and look to be holding territories, fewer winter thrushes around today
with barely 50 of each Fieldfare and
Redwing and a few Greenfinch, Goldfinch and Chaffinch
on the northerly side of the hill and a couple of Skylark singing nearby.
Fewer Gulls now loafing around the floods near the pig
fields and all were Lesser Blackback
Gulls.
A Mistle Thrush
and a Song Thrush singing in the
meadow this morning and the Wren
still starting up around 04:30 in the mornings. The ♀ Blackcap
still visiting and a pair of Mallard
coming in early morning.
