A quick wander around Brick Kiln Hill at The Ford before breakfast this morning gave up over 20 species of birds. The usual songsters were in good voice on a clear, bright but icy morning. Chaffinch, robin, dunnock, great tit, blackbird, song thrush, collared dove and wood pigeon were all heard and seen as well as a small party of long tailed tits. A large flock of black headed gulls, 47+, headed north along the Ash Valley.
Interesting note was observing a male chaffinch attacking its own reflection in a car wing mirror. Photo here shows the blurred chaffinch whilst the other 2 show a singing chaffinch and part of the black headed gull group.
