Alan out along the Bunk line today and partially along the river as the Thames path is underwater and the river is still rising.
The usual Thrushes present plus 8-9 Reed Bunting and a Water Rail.
A Stonechat near the gravel pit end of the Bunk line and Alan watched a Peregrine Falcon causing panic amongst the flocks of Gulls and Thrushes at the village end of the Bunk line as it took one of the Thrushes.
I took a very soggy walk out to Lollingdon and back. 4 Song Thrush and a Mistle Thrush singing between the village and Little Lollingdon and a Little Egret present out on the floods there.
Good numbers of Yellowhammer, Linnet, Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail and Skylark present in surrounding fields and well over 500 Fieldfare and Redwing roaming the area.
2 Stonechat, a Kestrel and a Buzzard present on the hill and 2 Raven flew west.
Loren and I took part in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch over the week end and logged 47 birds of 18 species.
Mammals: Brown Hare and Roe Deer.
