I have been home for
just over a week now and I have not been out on the birding trail that often.
Beddington Farm is very quiet apart from the growing monster of an incinerator in
the NE corner of the site. The gulls are as numerous as ever but I guess these
days are now numbered at the Farm. A Caspian Gull and a Yellow Legged Gull were
found by Devilbirder during the course of the mornings birding. The Dartford
Warbler is still present on site along with a few Wigeon. The lake is rising at
a rate of knots after the rain so there is always hope of a sawbill or a rarer
duck visiting the lake and staying!
Today I took a walk
through Perretts Field and saw a lone Common Gull stood on the freshly cut
grass. It looked as lost as I felt as it looked around the empty field!
I caught a few shots
of a Herring Gull as it passed overhead but gulls are common place in the area
as they commute to and from Beddington Farm where the dining is substantially more lucrative!
There were a few
Magpies Robin, Corvids, and House Sparrow but not much else. Sears Park was
just as quiet but the walk was pleasant on a slightly fresh sunny day!
Surrey Vice County
has had a trickle of interesting birds in the last few days Cranes over Wisley,
Whooper Swans at Tice’s (SVC tick for me!) and White- fronted Geese at Send. I have just
got to keep my eyes on the weather and put myself in the right place. More rain
tomorrow but will it turn up another rarity in the county !
