About 0930h a small mixed flock of Fieldfare/Redwing and Starling flew over northward. The Stock Doves were displaying near the field barn this morning where they nest and a few Meadow Pipits were heard flying around.
A quick look at the Cotesbach pools field this afternoon revealed ~ 50 Pied Wagtails still, but with much chasing activity suggesting they will soon be dispersing further afield to breed. With them was ~ 25 Meadow Pipits and a pair of Linnet.
A male Goldfinch was singing from the Ash tree and a couple of long-tailed tits were foraging. A couple of Buzzard were around calling as they patrolled over head. Suddenly a large flock of Jackdaw flew over, heading towards the landfill area nearby. A cock Pheasant strutted around the field edge showing off.
