A long overdue garden first over the weekend in the shape of a female House Sparrow! I have noticed two colonies at either edge of the village, but this was the first sighting I've had from within the village.
I managed 40 species from my Milton Keynes garden in 3 years.. am now on 35 in 2 months in this slightly more rural location. Would be nice to beat 40 in 3 months! Best Chances for new species are Fieldfare, Song Thrush, Kestrel, Hirundines and Warblers.
Also, seeing a few Shelducks in fields lately, something I'm not used to seeing inland. The flooded field off Luxborough Lane that has Lapwings, had 2 the other evening, only seen as I drove past, and today, I saw about 4 or 5 in a field from the M27, near the River Test, again a drive by sighting. |
