All Quiet On The Golf Course

Dawn - a View From The Golf Course

It was still and frosty this morning. A 4 hour walk from 7am till 11am revealed 42 species. A pair of GREY HERON once again fed in a recently sown grass field, where a couple of BH GULL flew low and looked to join them, but thought better of it. FIELDFARE and REDWING were feeding along the hedgerow at the golf course. At the lake the heavy earthworks have at last finished, and another Grey Heron fished there, with 14 MALLARD keeping it company. A MARSH TIT called again, in the waterlogged wood - always a good find, but there were no teal yet. It was relatively quiet along the farmland, but a flock of 30-50 SISKIN fed in alders along the river Bourne, still havn't found a Redpoll this year!!
