The local Starling murmuration’s are beginning to attract the attention of some predators.
This evening both Merlin and Sparrowhawk we noted attending and subsequently the Merlin left carrying a prey item. Per Geoff Wyatt.
As for the rest of the day, rather quiet elsewhere with the usual out at Lollingdon and the river.
The “tail-less” Red Kite seen again plus Treecreeper and Nuthatch.
Mammals: Brown Hare.
Red Kite courtesy Alan.
Richard Broughton has identified this Kite as a 1st winter bird, so it is not the one we have seen over the last few years. This bird also has no pygostyle, which makes it a very interesting condition to find in 2 separate birds?
