Bunk & Lollingdon

Cloudy with a few sunny spells, 9°, light W.

Not a lot along the Bunk line today, in fact very little seen. 2 Stonechat near the gravel pit and the usual Starling, Fieldfare and Redwing flocks roaming around and the odd Linnet, Meadow Pipit and Yellowhammer.

Alan had a later start around Lollingdon today with 2 Stonechat still present on the Hill, 2 Raven overhead and 20+ Yellowhammer present.

Alan also found a recently dead Lesser Blackback Gull. No obvious injuries and we are speculating that the bird flew into power cables as it was nearby to them. The gull had 2 rings on with one suggesting the bird was ringed in Belgium.

We will follow this up to figure out the history of this bird.
