A walk along the canal from the Great Western Arms towards Somerton. Not a huge number of ducks or geese on the floods. Not many gulls either. A remarkable number of Fieldfares.
Teal - c100
Wigeon - c50
Shoveler - c20
Gadwall - c10
Lapwing - single flock of 128.
Sparrowhawk - 1
Fieldfare - hard to estimate but over a thousand. Constantly in the air and in almost every hawthorn bush. Far outnumbering Redwings. Quite a spectacle.
Reed bunting - 2
I'm finding very low numbers of Redwing compared to Fieldfare this Autumn/Winter
ReplyDeleteYes, I've not really seen decent numbers of either so far but it was clearly in favour of Fieldfares yesterday.
