Football is now back in full flow and I extended my stay in the smoke and met up with Pete Alfrey to visit my old patch Beddington Farmlands. The landscape here is continually changing and areas of the south east corner and 100 Acre are under construction.
The path watching group of birders has expanded with plenty of new blood to take the farmlands into the next era. It was good to see old faces and the new scouring the area in search of migrants. The bird of the afternoon was the Oystercatcher that was regularly heard taking small flights in the area.
Other migrants were found on the North Lake by Pete firstly a Yellow Wagtail flitting abound on the small island at the south end of the North Lake.
A couple of White Wagtail was in its company with a couple of Pied Wagtail joining the new arrivals.
Wheatear was the final species to be added to the list of migrants. A couple of male birds one of which was very obliging were observed at close quarters.
