Collared dove numbers up and attempting mating
A slippery walk to work this a.m.
Another bright and cloudless day even though temperatures never got much above freezing.
More reports of Pink Footed Geese on the move today around the area which is earlier than ever this year. This time there,s nearly been an overlap between skeins coming in and skeins going out.
Collared doves are increasing in numbers around Foxhill with 15 counted at lunchtime as opposed to the usual 6 and attempted mating was even taking place.
LBBs were again moving >NW at midday with 3 Herring gulls over very high in the unusual direction of >SW.
A Kestrel glided over the garage being mobbed by 4 BH gulls which did,nt seem to bother it and a Pied Wagtail flew in the direction of Staion Rd pond.
Hope the weekend,s kind to you all.
