Epsom and Walton Downs - There is Some Wheat Left Ear!


I caught up with a Wheatear that was in the same area I had the first sighting last week. It is also possible it is the same bird! The difference with today was I managed to sneak around and get the sun at my back to get some reasonable shots of the bird. A few Meadow Pipits were also present this evening.

I have also been keeping a regular eye on the flock of Canada Geese that roost on the fields behind the Gallops. Last Fridays count saw 256 Canada a Greylag and a couple of hybrids. The count tonight was a few birds short and the geese arrived later than usual but I hope that something rarer will join the group during the migration period. 
Time will tell!
