Weekend started well with Woodcock, Woodlark and a Spectacular aerial display by a Noctule Bat over Emer Bog.
Spent Sunday afternoon on the Hampshire Downs. Found a good place near Chilbolton that had a healthy population of breeding Lapwings and Skylarks. Approximately 16 of the former, 12 of the latter.
Also in the area were a group of 7 Wheatears, 2 Linnets and a Kestrel.
Called in at a few areas that I won't be returning to! Then finished up at "Jack's Bush" near Broughton. A public foopath here started fairly average but improved away from the road with a huge field of Set aside and a large field of new plough. Highlights here were 4 singing Corn Buntings, several Yellowhammers, 3 Grey Partridges, Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat, 3 Stock Doves and another Wheatear.
Nice to see Corn Buntings are a bit easier to find than I was expecting.. So far, Turtle Dove, Spotted Flycatcher, and Tree Sparrow are proving to be very difficult down here. |
