Dunnock
Alert Woodpigeon
Chaffinch visiting the garden.
A calm , warm, spring like day with blue skies throughout but nothing in the way of movement.
The garden bird feeders have been busy of late with a pair of Chaffinch visiting the sun flower seed daily which may not sound anything exciting but is a rare bird up here at this altitude.
Chaffinch and Greenfinch are found lower down near and below the village but up here at Foxhill they are replaced with House Sparrows, 28 of which were on the feeders at one point today.
A Woodpigeon made a rare visit and the usual Dunnocks and Robin were present. The Blue Tits seemed to have moved on to breed and have not been seen for a few days now.
A visit at lunch time to the Tawny Owl site found no owls and no pellets so it looks as if they also have moved to their breeding area.

NOTE !!
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.
