Grey skies over Foxhill this evening
Laburnum coming into full bloom
Blackie in full song on the tv aerial.
A grey and damp day with some heavy showers, mainly lunch time and early evening when I was dog walking.
Several Herons are around Foxhill at the moment ,much to the disappointment of the local garden pond owners, whilst at least 8 Blackbirds are up singing within 50yds of the garden.
A couple of Black Headed gulls went over >E mid morning closely followed by an early Common gull.
Most of the noisy young Starlings have dispersed from the park now but a second brood will be arriving shortly.
A report from a customer today of a pair of Bullfinch with 3 young down the old station near the Holmefield tunnel entrance. Long gone are the days when we used to watch Spotted Flycatcher, Redstart and Yellowhammer down there.

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.
