Garden visitors

Sunny, 8°, light NW.

A few images of garden visitors today. 

As well as Jackdaw and Magpie in the garden there were Carrion Crow, Rook and Jay in the meadow and a Raven flew over mid-afternoon. 6 Corvids in one day!

Rooks

Sunny spells and showers. 10º, fresh SSW.

Another cool and windy day but back in Cholsey this time, a brief visit to Lollingdon hill produced zilch but a heavy rain storm.

Back in the garden a fairly well grown juvenile Rook had turned up, possibly lost and blown from the rookery about 100 metres away. It sat calling in a bush for most of the evening and later I saw a couple of adult Rooks fly by a few times and by 20:00 it had gone, so I guess it had flown off, hope it made it OK.

The winds over the last week have taken its toll on the Rookery with a few dead young seen underneath, around thirty nests altogether.

Hedgehogs active in garden.
