Lollingdon relatively quiet
today, still quite a few thrushes (300+)
spread around and a small flock of 10 Song
Thrush feeding on the hill with several looking generally greyer and darker
so possibly of the northern race. Also, 5 Mistle
Thrush present so maybe some birds on the move?
80+ Starling, a Kestrel, a
couple of Buzzard, and a Sparrowhawk, several Skylark, 20+ Meadow Pipit and 2 Pied Wagtail
feeding with some sheep, 2 Lapwing
flew over and a Corn Bunting in song.
First ♀ Blackcap
of the winter in the garden this morning, which brings the total to 4 so far
this winter in the garden.
Per MP,
“Yesterday we had 2 Jays in the garden (1st we’ve seen since moving in 2.5 years ago) and 3 Reed Bunting (1st for this winter) plus a Fieldfare that has been a
regular on the cherry tree. A ♀ Blackcap was around last weekend – they
seem scarce this winter.
In addition, into work this
morning there was a Raven near to
the roundabout at the end of Wallingford road.”
