A walk along the river on a bright, but surprisingly cold,
morning. Around 60 Curlew were in the beet field near the bridge…
There have been really good numbers of Curlews around the
last few days including a flock of around 160 in the large open fields near the
school and 40+ down Potter Lane.
The river itself was fairly quiet but I saw Kingfisher,
three Snipe, two Little Grebe, a small flock of Golden Plover and my first
Goosander since the spring…
And what, from a distance, I took to be an interesting wader…
but it was only an Oystercatcher (although the first I have
seen since June).
A flock of 200 Fieldfare in the Bottom Fields on Saturday
were the first of the autumn, around three weeks later than usual. There were
still good numbers around today…
I walked back via Langlands Farm flushing four Grey
Partridge. A Corn Bunting was surprisingly in song here and a single Grey
Wagtail was feeding around the field drains…
