25th February 2025

The warmer weather has seen an increase in raptor activity over the farm with Buzzard (8), Peregrine and Kestrel all taking advantage of mid afternoon thermals.

Wildfowl numbers are still high but there was a lack of Lapwing (13) on the meadows today. 

A small mixed flock of Yellowhammer (45) and Reed Bunting (10) were noted at Big and Little Straps.

Collared Dove (3) were noted today. The Waterbarn Cottages pair have not been seen so far this year therefore it was good to see birds on other parts of the farm.

The farm above the ridge was not covered.
