Nondescript Birding

Thursday 21st January 2016

Another rather nondescript day's birding report to match the weather but at least there aren't any nondescript photos to go with it today. Did the Caldecote patchwalk. Very few small birds about at all. just a few Skylarks. Plenty of Corvids, a mixed flock of just over 200 Fieldfare and Redwing on the Hall meadow, several Grey Herons and several Buzzards loafing about. The most interesting birds were probably the pair of Stonechats which have been around for some time now and a single Snipe which is only the second one I can recall seeing on the walk. Back at home the female Blackcap is still coming to the garden feeder but the finches seem to have disappeared.
