Just a stroll up Taylor Lane and back but a very rewarding hour.
Birds:-
A Kestrel was on the prowl at the bottom of Taylor Lane.
A Stonechat was near the Midden and it was seen a bit higher up the lane later (or a 2nd bird) on a wall.
A Kestrel flew over the bird at it dropped quickly out of sight.
A Raven called and was seen heading East.
A second Raven called soon afterwards and landed on a Pylon.
Either a 3rd Raven or the second seen again, was being mobbed by smaller Corvids.
It too landed on a distant pylon and was being plagued by the Corvids 'till it left.
The bird looked young and inexperienced.
An interesting hour out and about.
p.s. I reported the Stonechat as a Whinchat earlier - apologies.
Looks to have a white eye stripe on this photo.
But it's too faint.
The same Bird?
The Heavy Mob
A good hour there John. Nice Stonechat and Raven - heavy mob sums them up !
