A gorgeous, sunny, clear, calm winter’s day with a bit more around than of
late; the nets only produced 27 new birds including a Woodcock caught a dawn
and another 3 Northern Bullfinches (the male was a big brute but the two
females were smaller than the birds during last week’s influx). There were a few bits overhead during the
first few hours of the day (after which it became very quiet) with several
Waxwing flocks seen and heard, a few Finches including Redpolls, Greenfinches,
Siskins and Bramblings, a handful of Meadow Pipits, Yellowhammers and Reed
Buntings and a couple of big Jackdaw flocks wandering over from the town while
c1,000 Barnacle Geese fed in the surrounding fields.
Took a
spur-of-the-moment drive north to Haslev in southern Sjælland to a random
little patch of woodland where we had awesome views of a stunning HAWK OWL hunting from and flying
between the broken off Pine tree trunks in a clearing just off the road – there
was nothing really special about the site, they could turn up anywhere!
Woodcock
Hawk Owl - what a bird!!
