I left the trail camera in the Magic Garden last week, pick
of the shots was this one of a pair of Jays. Being normally so wary this is
better than any I’ve taken of the species!!
A bit of floodwater in the bottom fields today so a quick
walk down there turned up three new bird’s for the year with five Canada Geese,
three Shelduck and a big female
Sparrowhawk (surprisingly sending the Black-headed Gulls into a mass panic). Three
Buzzards here too.
Carrying on down Greenhills Lane the beet field had a number
of birds feeding around the sheeps’ feet. Expecting the usual wagtails and pipits
I was surprised to see nearly all the birds were Redwing with about 40 in total
in this field.
In the avenue there were four Treecreepers, mainly feeding
low down in the hedgerow, and in the end fields a group of 35 Lapwing, fifty
plus Fieldfares and a cracking flock of over 100 Linnets. The first big numbers
I have had of this finch for quite a few years.
