A ♂
Grey Wagtail flew west and two ♂
Stonechats were mobile around the farm. Two
Mallards flew over and
Little Owls were showing at Legal & General and on the east side of Horse Pasture. 14
Yellowhammers were counted, including two singing ♂♂.
Common Buzzards were enjoying the warmth, 11 birds possibly including some migrants. The Legal & General sports field held three adult
Common Gulls and 23
Black-headed Gulls. Four
Kestrels were noted across the farm and a
Pied Wagtail was still in the Legal & General car park. 17
Linnets and six
Meadow Pipits were logged but there were only singles of
Fieldfare and
Redwing.
The BW sector had a
redpoll and two
Siskins in Perrotts Larches, as well as two
Treecreepers, three
Bullfinches, a
Pheasant, a
Common Buzzard and a
Sparrowhawk.
The spring-like conditions tempted a
Small Tortoiseshell and a
Brimstone out at the farm, while 11 further
Brimstones were counted in BW, along with a
Comma.
