Very quiet today. Pick of a meagre list was this Grey
Wagtail on the Swale,
16 Teal on a little remnant of floodwater and 50+ Fieldfares
feeding in a riverside field. This was the first reasonable sized flock I’ve
seen ground feeding this winter. Typically they move from feeding in hedgerows in
the autumn and early winter to ground foraging after Christmas but presumably
the good berry crops have delayed this.
This lone Greylag has been haunting the same stretch of
riverbank for a couple of weeks now and I assume is probably injured but seems
to have survived comfortably and was feeding well.
This Sun Dog seen today is usually a sign of colder weather
coming so perhaps that will get things moving…
