The juvenile Black Redstart was again present at Eastfields Farm when I checked this morning. Also noted there were a Jay, a single Great Spotted Woodpecker, 2 Mistle Thrush and 2 Robins. There were 8 juvenile Pheasants near the now dried out drainage pond.
At Witch Lane there was a notable flock of 40+ Greenfinch present. I also recorded a Kestrel and 2 Common Buzzards. 18 Herring Gull and 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls were in the recently scarified field. A flock of 10 Lapwing flew over Willow Marsh Fisheries. and c.30 House Martin were also over Witch Lane.
I didn't manage to get any decent photos today, so here is one from the archives:
I very rarely get decent bird photos, Jason. Gonna try & concentrate on getting some bird pics with the VC, from here on in.
ReplyDeleteAll mine are taken through a compact digital camera connected to my spotting scope but because of the magnification factors such as wind, light, heat haze etc really effect it
ReplyDeleteM. Thrush and Pheasant - having a spot of trouble finding them at the moment Jase :-)
ReplyDeleteWarren, its funny how these common species can suddenley go into hidinga patch. I havent seen Nuthatch or Treecreeper for nearly 2 months.
ReplyDeleteBird photos are hard not always easy to get. This one's nice:)
