I have been keeping a casual eye on Canons Farm limiting my
visits to a few hours. This gives me enough time to scour the fields for the
Linnet c200 today and Chaffinch 66 birds. The former came together as one
group during the latter part of the day.
The Chaffinch was feeding at close
quarters at the back of the watch point. Skylark was also seen in several small
flocks today.
At around Mid-day I ventured past Lunch Wood and continued
watching from the log. I have seen a regular passage of Fieldfare 159 today whom
I can only surmise they are going to a feeding area as roughly an hour later
they all return flying towards the L & G building. There was mixed flocks
today including Redwing 46 and a few more Skylark making the total 31.
The L & G field had its usual array of regular
passerines and a single Common Gull who was very keen to attract my attention.
There were not many gulls on site Herring and Black Headed were seen passing overhead.
Yellowhammer was divided between Canons Farmhouse and the
back of Lunch Wood. The biggest group was 7. A couple of Buzzard was being
chased about by the corvids that still have a few Rook present.
Thirty two species recorded today on the Farm!
