Permalink  
 


Holden Wood

male pheasant calling

black headed gull, carrion crow, wood pigeons, stock dove in flight, magpies, jackdaws

2 pied wagtails, plenty of meadow pipits so many displaying, small flock of linnet

great tits, blue tits, chaffinches

1 little ringed plover, 2 curlew, 20 min lapwing many displaying, 10-20 canada geese

1 great black backed gull flying north over ogden

1 mistle thrush near slope

Musbury 

2 little owls - both in separate locations

1 kestrel - male

plenty of meadow pipits - many displaying

1 pied wagtail

at least 3 lapwing

8 min skylark - singing

curlew - 5 min

3 buzzards - having a good time  - then mobbed by the lapwings

and a bird that landed at the top of a tree which i thought was a song thrush .....as i got closer it flew off...it was a pipit but appearing larger than meadow pipit .....it did make a meedow pipity type call as it flew off and away as if it was heading elsewhere...they say meadow pipits dont land in trees but they do....tree pipits have started to arrive some have been recorded ...one of these i will never know for sure ...

also a large fox ...i surprised it.......must have been a dog fox....
