October 19th 2009

Managed to catch up with the Fisher Mill Pit, Middleton Hall R.S.P.B. Glossy Ibis in the north of the county thou embarrassingly I arrived without my bins oops having left them on the kitchen table so very grateful to Clair and Jack for letting me borrow there’s. Not much point in hanging around without optics so returned home and spent a couple of hours later in the day exploring the footpaths between Sawbridge, and Flecknoe. Walking towards Wolfhamcote from Sawbridge there were 19 Redwing feeding in the hedgerow and a lone Curlew. Wolfhamcote its self was quiet though near the disused railway line there were 2 Grey Partridge, 7 Meadow Pipit, 2 Buzzard, 3 Raven and 15 Linnet. Near Netherecote 5 Tree Sparrow and 16 Chaffinch were around the out buildings of the farm but no sign of any Brambling that had been reported. Between Nethercote and Flecknoe there were 45 Golden Plover resting and another 5 Tree Sparrow. Returning back via the country lane between Flecknoe and Sawbridge a Barn Owl was out hunting, 2 Buzzard, 4 Redwing and Snipe flew over.

So at least one of us was looking after the pond then!! Our American friend (a handy patch tick after finishing a show at Stoneleigh) spent 44mins and 44seconds of 45 minutes observation asleep...
