Bird Census

No sign of the Short-eared Owl today, but 3 Barn Owls hunting at dawn was a nice consolation. A female Peregrine also impressed with her acrobatics, and good to see a pair of Cranes make a couple of visits to the reedbed.

On a quiet day bird wise but with shooting in the fields the best sighting was a Barn Owl catching and eating a vole only yards from where I stood behind a hedge.

A dull and drookit day, made much brighter by a Jack Snipe on show on Winter flood, a male Merlin, and a sprinkle of winter swans at dawn.

A quiet day had most of the wildfowl on the lake hiding in the now submerged vegetation making counting difficult. Fortunately an unseen disturbance brought them out nearly doubling the count!

No special highlights today, but interesting to see duck numbers increasing, Redwing outnumbering Fieldfare, an increase in Blackbird numbers and a growing flock of Yellowhammer at Red Barn Farm. Also, Water Pipit hanging around the lake was nice, as
