Baddesley Common is still full of birdlife, but unable to find any quality this morning amongst the many Willow Warblers, Chiff Chaffs, Blackcaps and a few Goldcrests. Also seemed to be an abundance of Robins this morning.
One or two of the Chiff Chaffs and Willow Warblers were in full song which was surprising.
Still, the numbers made for an exciting couple of hours, and the common is such a big area that the more unusual birds could be out there somewhere. However, the weather seems to have improved, and together with clear skies and a full moon, we may have to wait for the next batch of interesting birds.
A Roe Deer and Fox showed well this morning.
Also, we found another sorry looking Hedgehog lying in the gutter near the house yesterday afternoon. Had a good look at this one and he seemed fine, so we moved him to a sheltered area of bushes, and covered him up with leaves etc. Happily this one seemed to recover ok, and we caught a glimpse of him scurrying away later that night. |
