A quiet weekend.. attended a North Bucks Bats Group meeting Saturday, and called in at Christmas Gorse on the way home..Stonechat still there, and also 2 Snipe which is no surprise for the site. Very difficult to find any Golden Plover this winter.
Also found a very interesting fenced off brook and muddy area behind a factory which looks ideal for Wagtails, and waders.. However, nothing there on Saturday afternoon!
Had a nice hour with the family on Sunday driving round Woburn.. Lots of Deer (including Muntjac, Chinese Water Deer, and Fallow (I think)) to keep the children occupied, and a few Fieldfare.. Surprised that this area doesn't turn up more interesting birds being such a large woodland and arable area. Restricted access to large areas probably doesn't help.
Garden is still overflowing with Blackbirds feeding on apples. |
