5.2.10 Ridge and Ash Valley




The first day of 2010 where the temperature crawled into double figures. Consequently a lot more bird activity in the mid afternoon. A little owl at its usual roost, too far away for a photo was a highlight along with a total of 6 common buzzards. A pair were involved in high courtship flights, shown here. Several redwing and fieldfare were recorded as well as goldfinch and chaffinch. A solitary black headed gull headed north, passing a southerly herring gull. In all 26 species recorded in bright light and a pleasing blue sky. Other photos show a singing robin and the fast flowing River Ash.
