The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Ogden


An icy but lovely morning to be out with the reservoir partially frozen but wall to wall blue skies.
All bird life was busy feeding today and squabbling over any food available.
Nothing unusual on the water other than an increasing winter flock of Mallards with the normal Common and BH gulls.
The perimeter of the water was alive with Robins,Wrens and Dunnocks and 2 female Brambling were in with a very mobile Chaffinch flock. A pair of Crossbills flew from the Back Lane plantation across to the usual spot by Giants Tooth but no Waxwings were found this week.
2 Bramblings
15 Chaffinch
2 Crossbills
27 Common Gull
18 BH Gull
148 Mallard
11 Lt Tits
+ usual sp.
