A dull mild outing with bits of drizzle along the canal late morning.
Birds:-
3 Mute Swan, 4 Moorhen, Dipper.
Grey Wagtail (My 1st of 2022).
Lots of Chiffchaff.
Pied Wagtail.
Buzzard, high, distant over Brookfoot woods.
8 Heron, M. Goosander.
Nuthatch.
A Blackcap was singing (unseen) from ivy clad trees west of the refreshments hut, by the canal bridge there.
7 Coot, Black Headed Gull.
(Not much on the Ski Lake).
Several short bursts of song from the lagoon, my best description is a trill (crescendo) . Hoping it might be a Water Rail but Collins bird app doesn't agree!!!
The bird was a Little Grebe - with a bit of help from my friends!!
A few others.
An enjoyable saunter with lots of bird life, Chiffchaff singing all along the canal was a pleasant reminder that good weather might arrive!!!
Local Fields:
Unpleasant in strong winds with drizzle.
Little Owl. Green Woodpecker.
