Hazy sun, 10º, light SSE.
A walk around Lollingdon today, nothing much on the hill
apart from a few Meadow Pipit and a
couple of Corn Bunting.
Around two hundred
Fieldfare
and a handful of
Redwing feeding on
some recently ploughed fields and then flushed by a
Sparrowhawk.
A couple of Chiffchaff
present (one in song) and the first Willow Warbler in song by the spring.
Thanks to Biffa for collecting all the rubbish sacks at
Cholsey marsh today.
A ♂
Blackcap in the garden today again
with a ring on its right leg and am trying to ascertain whether it’s the “French
ringed” bird from earlier in the year. It’s not a regular in the garden as its
feeding behaviour is different from previous visitors and two more Blackcap
appeared this evening (both unringed birds).
