Bird walk 16 October

[Des Bowring]

A select band of birdwatchers gathered in beautifully warm sunshine and encountered an equally select band of birds,  As the winter approaches, seeing birds will become less problematic because there will be fewer leaves!

The line-up is as follows:

Jay - one flew over the pond

Carrion Crow - one ot two feeding on the grass

Magpie - several birds seen

Great Tit - quite a few around, calling and showing well

Blue Tit - at least one among the Great Tits

Coal Tit - two near the meadow/pond area

Woodpigeon - a few seen

Pied Wagtail - one flew over near the bowling green

Robin - a few seen and heard

Blackbird - surprisingly elusive, with just one near the pond

Chaffinch - one flew over near the pond

Goldfinch - a couple seen flying over

Lesser Black-backed Gull - one drifting overhead

Wren - One calling and seen briefly near the bowling green

Dunnock - one gave good views near the bowling green

 

Thanks to all who turned up. See you in November.
