9th |
| Two Water
Rail were calling from the flooded vegetation
around Eakring Flash this morning, with possibly a third
bird there. 371 Wood Pigeon represented a small movement
amongst very little migration considering the better
conditions this morning. Unusaul though, were five
Collared Doves actively associated with Wood Pigeon
groups. A total of five included one group of four moving
high south-west. It is likely that the peak for many
species has been missed during the last week. Common
Buzzards were at Lound Wood and Penny Pasture Common. |
