TIME: 14:20 - 16:30 WEATHER: Cold and windy, but dry COMPANY: Nowt but the cows. I think the Slavonian Grebe is back - there was a grebe-sized diving bird in that flooded bit to the right of you when you're walking down to the bank.... it didn't have such a rotund and large rear end as the Little Grebe.... SPECIES SEEN: Huge, enormous flock of waders far out in the channel, circa 5000 or so. Probably Grey Plover / Knot / Dunlin. Pinkfeet - 2 groups over Brent Goose - 3 'flocks' over Mute Swan - 2 Little Grebe - 2 Little Egret - 2 Redshank - 15 Grey Plover - 6 on little pool close to bank Lapwing - 2 Herring Gull - 1 Black-headed Gull - few over Greater Black-backed Gull - 1 Long-tailed Tit - 20-25 in bushes at 'rear' of reserve Blackbird - 2 Mistle Thrush - 5 Goldfinch - small flock in bushes Robin - 6 Wren - 4 Hovering passerine, probably Skylark but sun was in the wrong place to get a good view Starling - enormous flock coming in to roost by South Forty Foot on way back Carrion Crow - Lots in adjacent fields Magpie - 9 Jackdaw - 2 Usual pigeons and doves OTHER: 1 Stoat and 2 Brown Hares. |
