We passed through chain bar roundabout on our travels today where my 1st Buzzard in a while was seen.
Later we called at a bright but windy and cold Ringstone Reservoir and later still I had a walk up the local fields.
A Barn Owl was seen locally and a Kestrel landed on a telephone pole looking on.
When the Barn Owl flew past the Kestrel seemed to follow it.
I wonder if the Kestrel is looking for any easy meal by waiting for the Barn Owl to catch something (before dark) and the rob it's prey?
Birds:
Buzzard.
Ringstone Reservoir:
Many Lapwing and Gulls in the usual field with a few Starlings.
Just Black Headed and Common Gulls as far as I could see in the many photos "what I took".
183 Lapwings I counted from a slowed down video, did not capture all so c200 Lapwing would be a fair guess!
c350 Canada Geese Present.
Large group of Canada Geese in the fields included 2 Greylag Geese.
2 further Greylag Geese > NNW. followed by a further 2 Greylag Geese > NNW.
Kestrel.
Bullfinch on the excellent feeders along the roadside opposite the caravan.
Not a lot else, although, to be fair, I did not stay long at the feeders which look interesting.
Local Fields:
Deadsville.
A few Carrion Crow and Rooks.
2 Mistle Thrush.
Kestrel.
Barn Owl.
I Can't quite understand why I don't see any Reed Buntings in these fields?
Yesterday a Peregrine was seen as we drove down to Halifax.`
