A wander back from Tescos, north of the A120 offered views of the 96 species of bird for the parish. This came in the shape of a teal: UK's smallest duck. A photo shows the colourful wing pattern. It was found in company of several mallards on the partially drained lake. Along with this exciting discovery was a large skylark movement, with over 28 recorded heading south over fields east of The Hall. A solitary black headed gull remained from the group on Monday and singles of lesser black backed and herring were also recorded. A grey wagtail ( a fine male) was also seen at a pond near The Stables whilst a party of long tailed tits frequented hedgerows towards the school.
In an open field a large party of finches and buntings were observed, with a minimum of 26 yellowhammers and 23 chaffinches. One yellowhammer shown here.
