A glorious day with a very
light easterly breeze and plenty of bright sunshine throughout; opened the nets
at Holland first thing which proved to be very eventful as I caught 3 Long-eared Owls and a Rook! It was
also clear that there were plenty of birds around with 4 Woodcock, 20+ Robins,
3 Woodpigeons, a Brambling, a Chaffinch and good numbers of Thrushes around the
garden.
Walked the northern census route late morning with
the main feature being an excellent total of 63 Robins scattered around; other
birds included 2 Black Redstarts, 11 Song Thrushes, 2 Rooks, 50 Fieldfares, 60
Blackbirds, 12 Rock Pipits including another littoralis bird, 9 Pied Wagtails,
3 Woodcock, 3 Chaffinches, 15 Twite, a Ruff and a Grey Plover. The first Chiffchaff
of the year was around the Obs in the afternoon.
