Yellowhammer on Walland, sadly now quite scarce
A grim afternoon weather wise, as well as the Swans a hunt around Walland found a few Yellowhammers, Tree Sparrows and winter Thrushes. Late afternoon on the reserve saw just a few Goldeneye of note and the Cattle Egrets flying to roost as I was leaving.
Tree Sparrows on Walland take some searching out
There were 12 Ruff among the Lapwings at The double bends at Scotney
