03/01/2025

With domestic stuff to do first thing it was a late start today, which allowed the weather to warm up a little in the bright sunshine which allowed me to get the bicycle out.
My first stop was to say hi to the local Little Owls
On to Scotney where a Geeenshank was soaking up the sunshine out of the breeze, 
Nearby an old friend, Herring Gull X2DT which I last saw nearly 6 years ago on 15/08/2019,  I recorded it 15 times between then 14/12/2017.
1 of 8 Curlew on the Scotney sward.
1 of 70+ Tree Sparrows at the back of Scotney today
Bewick Swans on Walland Marsh
A brief trip to the reserve where 8 White-fronted Geese, Great Northern Diver and Long-tailed Duck were the highlights.
Whooper Swans on Walland Marsh
Late afternoon I finished the day out on the ranges with Owen and Dave, where we saw 2 Short-eared Owls and a Barn Owl, also Marsh harriers and Common Buzzards.
