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.

On Wigeon watch, Ogden

Plenty small gulls favouring the west shore

Down to 3 Cormorant

1 Little Grebe still present

With several Wigeon on the move I thought Ogden worth a try with plenty grazing shore to go at but after a good scan around I came up with a blank.
The ad Gt Crested Grebe is still present along with 1 Little Grebe but no Canadas tonight.
Around 80 BHGs, 25 Commons and 7 LBBs on the gull scene and again no Passerines other than Robins and Chaffinch.
As well as Long Tailed Tit, Treecreeper seems to have disappeared as I have,nt had one now for 18 months whereas they were once common around the perimeter of the water.
Plenty Swallows >SW in migration mode over the village today.
