Bunk & Lollingdon

Misty at first then clouding over, 16°, light ENE.

Alan up at Silly Bridge early with a few Corn Bunting and Skylark.

Later along the Bunk line and Gravel Pit. 2 Shoveler and 4 Tufted Duck present on the pit.

And 100+ Fieldfare along the Bunk, plus a Little Owl, 2 Herring Gull, 40’ish Golden Plover, a Grey Wagtail and several Chiffchaff.

I trekked out to Lollingdon. The flooded field, now almost dry had a flock of 40+ Meadow Pipit and a few Pied Wagtail feeding.

The Hill was fairly quiet other than 100+ Fieldfare that flew over in a couple of flocks.

Nearby, a handful of Redwing, more Fieldfare, 2 Little Owl, several Corn Bunting, Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer.

Sparrowhawk and Wren in the garden today. The Wren is regular and the Hawk an opportunistic visitor.

Mammals: Brown Hare and Roe Deer.

Butterflies: Brimstone and Peacock.
