Swallows enjoy the cricket practice nets
The well cut grass is an attraction to birds.
A non existent Raggalds Flood but worth the occasional
check for Yellow Wagtail.
A quick before work tour of Old Guy Rd and the Raggalds Flood
A single distant Wheatear was briefly on the wall near Micklemoss Farm before dropping over into the Roper Lane side showing full autumn plumage.
The cricket field was lively as usual with 22 Meadow Pipits, 5 Skylark, 3 Pied Wagtails with 6 juvs whilst 12 Swallows were sunning themselves on the practice nets .
6 Lesser Black Backed gulls went over >W and several Black Headeds were around the fields.
Linnet counts are well down now with just 2 being seen.

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.
