A day spent in Spring like conditions with bird song from all areas of the farm. Dunnock were the most vocal with Song Thrush exercising their vocal chords and a Woodlark singing in Higher Eweleze. A Brambling was also noted in this area.
Wildfowl numbers are still high but I did not visit all the key areas concentrating on the water meadows. The key counts were as follows:-
Song Thrush 4, Siskin 3, Med Gull, Lapwing 292, Wigeon 487, Snipe 13, Buzzard 5, Redwing 12,
(pale Common Buzzard)
A resident bird on the farm giving good views as it took advantage of the rising thermals.
