Michael Pocock on Lollingdon Hill yesterday. “Nice to see the pair of Stonechat at Lollingdon this morning. Also a couple of Yellowhammer, 14 Golden Plover overhead and lots of “Winter Thrushes” (mostly Fieldfare). The highlight for me was 5 migrating Stock Dove. They come in at height from the Chilterns and I watched them head right over the downs and then orientate to head up one of the valleys. Soon to be in Iberia?”
Alan headed along the river today: Redwing and Fieldfare in abundance, plus Blackbird, Song Thrush in good numbers. Cetti’s Warbler, Kingfisher, Reed Bunting, Meadow Pipit, Jay, a singing Mistle Thrush, Treecreeper, Chiffchaff, Nuthatch and a Marsh Tit heard.
I took a brief walk along the Bunk/Green lane area: “Winter Thrushes” in good numbers with several hundred Redwing, approx. 100 Fieldfare plus Blackbird and Song Thrush in good numbers.
Also a Raven heard, a Grey Heron, Grey Wagtail, Jay, and Yellowhammer, 2 Herring Gull plus the usuals.
