A long evening walk: 20.03.09
With my first dawn chorus walk planned for tomorrow morning, I thought it wise to have a scout around to see if there was anything of note. Consequently, a walk up Chapel Lane, through to Caley Wood and returning via the golf course. A total of 31 species were seen, with highlight birds being; 40 pied wagtail on a ploughed field, 3 linnets over the golf course and the regular woodcock roosting in Caley Wood. A solitary fieldfare was seen, perhaps the last record of the spring. A tawny owl called from deep inside Caley Wood and only mallards and moorhens were witnessed on the pits. There was plenty of long tailed tit activity, with them now less likely to be in large parties, remaining in pairs. With little nature available for photographing, I include 2 sunset snaps and a large movement of corvids, mainly jackdaws and rooks.
