A Mild One

Overcast, 12°, light WSW.

A mild day by any standards for mid-December with both Song Thrush and Mistle Thrush in song.

Both Stonechat still present with 1 on Lollingdon Hill and another near the cattle field.

Lollingdon Hill was quiet with a single Raven hassling some Black-headed Gull plus 6 Red Kite and 2 Buzzard overhead. And plenty of “Winter Thrush” in the area,

The Bunk line area still held plenty of Gull with an estimated 500 of the usual mix. Also “Winter Thrush” in good numbers plus Mistle Thrush, Song Thrush, Blackcap, Jay, Yellowhammer. Per Alan.

Alan took a trip to Farmoor Reservoir this morning to see a juvenile Great Northern Diver. (pics below)

Mammals: Brown Hare.
