Welcome to more of my obs - I hope you find them of interest. Feel free to comment share any of your obs using the comments option.
Willey; the small flock of Chaffinch and Yellowhammers is still on the stubble fields to the west, a Reed Bunting was with them too. The local Rooks were busy feeding first thing on the pasture next to their rookery, many also attending to their nests. A morning check of the feed station produced all the usual visitors, including the Moorhen, 6 Tree Sparrows today. . Late afternoon a Green Woodpecker was heard calling.
Monks Kirby; The Chaffinch flock was present, a little dispersed today, at least 50 though, plus Yellowhammers, Goldfinch and 1 Brambling.
Stanford Reservoir; at the moment there are bird 'scarers' on some adjacent fields causing loud 'bangs' which is definitely causing some disturbance to the birds, probably keeping the numbers down. I was checking through the Grey Lag Goose flock in case a Pink-Foot had dropped in when I spotted 4 Egyptian Geese, it looked like a family group. As expected at next set of 'bangs' they flew off - 4 were later reported flying over Draycote Water, the time would have been right for it to have been these birds after leaving here.
Otherwise a pleasant afternoon with the usual birds seen. I counted thre Coot which have now increased to 185.
