A flock of Yellowhammers were feeding near a pile of old
pallets…
I would have had some better shots only as I took this one a
bloody great rat appeared below it so that was the end of that session.
Other birds today included Grey Partridge (first for the
year) Little Egret and three Snipe in the Bottom Fields, three Buzzards over
Greenhills, a group of 40 Redwings in the Magic Garden and around 60 Fieldfares
feeding around the remnant flood pools.
If these pools last into April they should really attract
some birds but today the only waders were four Oystercatchers and a handful of
Lapwings.
As I walked along the ‘avenue’ on Greenhills Lane there was
an exceptionally loud metallic noise, it turned out to be this…
This Great Spot was using the mobile phone mast as its drumming
post. Fantastic noise but the forces acting on its head must have been
phenomenal.
The thought of the noise from the drumming on there gives me a headache!!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, I knew someone who woke up in panic to hear their gas boiler about to explode. It turned out to be a woodpecker using the outside vent cover as its drumming spot!
