Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - First Lapwings drop in |
A very brief stop at Buzzardworld this evening, to see how many Buzzards are still using the field (numbers have tended to be highest in the evening). There were only 12, suggesting the total has dropped from the previous 20's and 30's being seen. There were however, 5 Lapwings: the first I've seen locally this "Winter"!
We get small numbers of Lapwings in fields around the village in Winter and Spring, but I have yet to record Golden Plover, despite it being quite numerous North, South and East of the area! My "Seen from the house" list is missing all Waders. I haven't even managed Lapwings overhead. We do get Woodcock fairly close, and I suspect an evening craning my neck out of the bathroom window in the direction of the woods would eventually get a distant one!
Coal Tits are already regular at the garden feeders which is nice, and a female Pheasant dropped in to the ground feeder a couple of mornings ago. |
