This is another pic of yeserdays Starling, I just think the colours on it are greatNo frost this morning, but there was less sunshine and only one light shower passed through on this mornings 4 hour walk round the patch. Less species were noted than in the last two days, (45) but one not seen on those days, was GREY WAGTAIL, a pair were feeding on a manure pile. Its still a bit frustrating not seeing any new migrant species, but they will arrive, I hope!
A small bird of prey went low and fast over my head while I was at the lake area, and only a second to glance at it told me it was either a female kestrel or quite possibly a female Merlin, the latter would have been a patch first, but I couldn't be sure, so I didn't count it. The only other noteable occurrance, was that the number of SWALLOWS had incresed to 5.
