With the recent appearance of a Swallow at Frampton Marsh, I decided to check along the South Forty Foot Drain for any early arrivals of them and Sand / House Martins. Alas, I found no hirundine activity (despite my being as keen as mustard to see them), but did see the following: Possible early Sedge Warbler calling from reeds Great Crested Grebe - 3 pairs in 'pork pie' resting posture Mute Swan - 2 Grey Heron - 1 over Cormorant - 1 flying over Shelduck - 2 (first time I've seen one on the drain) Tufted Duck - 1 pair Wigeon - 1 female Canada Goose - 10 on banks Greylag Goose - 5 Coot - 8 Moorhen - 3 calling from reeds Redshank - 2 (another first sighting of one on the drain) Goldfinch - plenty about Greenfinch - 2 Great Tit - 4 Blue Tit - 6 House Sparrow - 30 Starling - 15 Blackbird - 10 Wren - 2 calling Robin - 2 pairs courting each other Pied Wagtail - 3 Dunnock - 3 Collared Dove - 7 displaying Woodpigeon - 9 also displaying Magpie - 5 Jackdaw - 3 Common Gull - 1 Herring Gull - 4 in immediate vicinity, 3 flocks overhead Black-headed Gull - 25 Grey Partridge - 1 Pheasant - 1 ADDITIONAL: 3 rabbits. |
