Meadow Pipits were again on the move this a.m. and again in small numbers of threes and fours all >S and dwindling off by 0900hrs.
A small flock of 14 Coal Tits >SW over the garage at 0920hrs was unusual and good to see them moving high over the village.
Lunch time in Foxhill park saw 2 Skylark over >W and 21 Lapwing heading towards Shelf Moor.
The shield around the garden feeders seems to be doing its job according to Lynda after 2 daily visits from the Sparrowhawk which went away empty handed each time. The angle it has to come in from now only allows it to go into the Hawthorn with no access through to the feeders so as long as there are no loose Sparrows on the edge of the Hawthorn the jobs a good un, but not for the Sparrowhawk.
