Things are a little samey at the moment, the weather is still fairly mild and most bird species are settled in their winter quarters.
The pair of Stonechat are still around Lollingdon hill and will probably stay put unless we have a prolonged cold spell.
A surprise of a Common Snipe flew from one of the flooded fields and a Little Owl nearby.
A large flock of Skylark in the fields out at Little Lollingdon, difficult to count but between 120-150 present along with 40 odd Linnet and about 10 Yellowhammer. Appeared to be put up by a raptor of some description.
The usual Starling, Fieldfare and Redwing flocks scattered around.
Another Little Owl out near Cholsey Hill and a Nuthatch, several Siskin, a Kingfisher and Treecreeper at Bow Bridge. Per Alan.
A Barn Owl seen hunting in the Westfield road area yesterday. Per Hugh Pope.
