back to normal this morning all waterfowl in place,
5 grey wagtail (3 young) 1 kingfisher 1 heron 2 swallow ?? 1 mallard with two ducklings (guess 14 days old) is this unusual also today 40 mistle thrush on the colgate building 15.00
50 b/h gull (probabley some meds and y/leg in there) 2 swallows on telephone lines 4 mute swans 1 mixed flock of birds containing at least 3 song thrush 4 great tit 6 blackbirds 2 robins (locals not happy with the invasion) 12 blue tits 2 greenfinch 6 goldfinch water level still down so hopes of waders still high cheers geoff
fairbrother st 7.00 usual suspects all present, 1 kingfisher 2 greywagtail 2 swallows water level has dropped by 2 ft exposing all the debris that the birds normally forage between,its not a pretty sit
fairbrother st, 7.30am 12 mallard 4 cormorant 4 coot 1 mute swan 1 little grebe 1 sparrowhawk 1 kingfisher 2 blckbird 2 wren 2 swallow the sparrow hawk didn,t see the kingfisher,i,m pretty sure the kingfisher is a resident somewhere between clippers quay and harry ramsdens,hopfully there are more than one.of note no canada geese present,the swallows appear to be feeding another brood,but its hard to confirm as nest is inaccesable. cheers geoff
