The usual walk, on a hot sunny afternoon.
On the way up to Soil Hill 3 Kestrel – one seeming to
have a very white rump.
On Soil Hill contour path just a few Meadow Pipit but coming
off the path to join Ned Hill track c20 Goldfinch.(I don’t know if this is a
significant number for SH).
In the first conifer on the left , approaching the house
on the Ned Hill track, a small bird singing periodically but it refused to be
seen.
A Pheasant scooted across Coal Lane.
15:05 Plantation Lane
Very hot, very, very quiet with
just a Blue Tit seen!!
Near the Ogden
promenade a quick glimpse of a jittery bird flitting from bush to bush which
could have been a Whitethroat (but maybe the lack of ought decent today, had
clouded my judgement by now).
On/
Over the wet stuff.
LBBG/ Cormorant - just one flying/ 6 Robin.
A possible Little Grebe – seen once then disappeared.
Tufted Duck (possibly
camouflaged as the earlier Little Grebe).
Sleeping Juv. Dunnock.
2 Swallow over Causeway Foot Inn.
That’s the lot I’m afraid. Must be the hot sunshine?
Video taken with bird singing on Ned Hill track.
Not sure if
1.Blogger will play the sound on the video &
2. If the volume from the camera is good enough to be heard
Little Grebe?
Usually twice that count of Goldfinch on the track but last year and this have been poor
