No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

More Swallows on the move

Another day of Swallows and House Martins on the move from mid morning when the rain had cleared till just after midday.
The House Martins were very high all >S in a brisk NE>4 coming over in waves of 5 or 6 but these were greatly outnumbered by Swallows , not quite as high but coming over fast in real migration mode.
Two very high Sparrowhawks headed over >W mid morning being obvious movers as well as 3 Skylarks in the same direction.
Foxhill park at midday held 3 Common gull and a group of Feral pigeons enjoying the seeded goal mouth, not a common bird to this area.
