Another pretty cold day and fairly quiet out.
There has been some recent movement of Lapwing and Golden Plover with several flock seen flying south and west in search of less frozen ground.
Maybe to coastal areas or even further south to continental Europe to escape the freezing conditions.
4 Redpoll seen by Alan recently along Green lane and the odd Common Snipe found by flowing water bodies.
A few Teal in the Cholsey Marsh area and Treecreeper and Nuthatch around Bow Bridge.
An increase in sighting of Blackbird and Song Thrush over the last few days. Maybe an influx from further north or that they are more noticeable in the colder weather?
If you put out food for birds you have probably noticed an increase in visitors to the garden as Alan has with both Redwing and Song Thrush feeding on Pyracantha berries and also a visiting female Blackcap.
