It was the floods which were the focus for me this weekend. Both the Bottom Fields below the village and Langlands had reasonable expanses of water…
Nothing scarce on here but it helped to bolster my year-list. Three Mute swans were on the Bottom Fields yesterday but there were six on here this morning and then joined by this strange necked individual…
Pinkfeet were moving yesterday with one skein of 60 birds
east of the village and these ten which flew in over the floods…
A single Tufted Duck was probably the best sighting as they are now less than annual visitors…
On Langlands there were 60 Mallard, two Shelduck, a nice
mixed flock of 140 Teal and Wigeon and 50 Curlew…
Yesterday there were some excellent flocks of Lapwing moving over with two flocks totalling over 400 birds…
Finally I had a covey of six Grey Partridge on the edge of the floods and a new record count of ten Roe Deer…
