I visited two mornings on the trot ,Wednesday and Thursday and I have paid the price for standing on a lonely hilltop in cold temperatures in wellies, I have come down with man flu.
The total for the two days are as following:
Weds Thurs
Stock Dove 5 8
Skylark 2 –
Fieldfare 25 –
Redwing 1 56
Mistle Thrush 2 5
Chaffinch 24 24
Brambling 2 3
Goldfinch 14 18
Greenfinch 5 5
Redpoll – 2
Hawfinch – 4
Bullfinch – 1
Siskin 66 2
Reed Bunting – 1
Other birds seen, which I considered not to be migrants include: Jay, Jackdaw, Raven, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Goldcrest, Coal Tit, Song Thrush and Yellowhammer.
Hopefully I will get another couple of days in before migration grinds to a halt, might even try the Fillongley Alps having had my head turned by Hartshill Hayes.
Shustoke
I have not forsaken the Reservoir, its just that there has been very little to report, Thursday Joy and I walked around the Reservoir seeing only three Shoveler and a single Pochard.
