My first walk of the year along the river. Despite the frost
it was very quiet with no waders and only four Goosander, Grey Wagtail and a
distant flying flock of 70 Golden Plover to add to the year list.
In the fields there have been good numbers of Fieldfares in
recent days, they seem to move to ground feeding after Christmas even if there
are good numbers of berries still in the hedgerows.
At Sedgefield the geese are still present in good numbers
but the Barnacle was the only non-Greylag present but they were joined now by
groups of Curlew. Eventually these all flew off and coalesced into a single
group in the Bottom Fields, I tallied up a decent count of 106 birds…
