This Starling by the garage can imitate a Curlew
better than a Curlew.

All quiet on reports today after yesterdays rush. The skies were very murky and still today , especially looking east.
Nothing around Green Lane this evening other than a few LBB gulls >NW and the usual Magpie roost of 15 birds.
The trailer park is still waiting for the arrival of Wheatears and remained empty this evening whilst 18 Canadas were in a nearby field which was unusual.
Old Guy Road is still waiting to play host to the Wheatears and Pied Wagtails but it also remained empty other than a few Meadow Pipits.
A report today of a single Chiffchaff at the bottom of the north slope Soil Hill where the Grasshopper and Sedge Warbler habitat is almost soiled over as well as the breeding area for Whitethroat. If tipping continues along the lower edge we can forget the Shay area of the hill.
A Merlin was also seen over the Ned Hill track, DP.

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.
