| A walk along the Big hedge produced a small flock of all male Bullfinches |
Christmas day dawned fine, so after staying in bed a little longer than usual, breakfast was downed and then I set off with the Westies. It made a nice change not to battling against wind and rain.
Its possible that there is more water in the flash than I have ever seen, unfortunately there was nothing in the area apart from a few Black-headed Gulls, and Carrion Crows.

| There was also a few Chaffinches about and a few blue tits , and an occasional glimpse of a Hedgsparrow foraging on the ground amongst the fallen apples. |

|
On the main pond of the reserve just a few Mallard and Gulls, plus the occasional call of a moorhen but none seen.

And that was about it, not a great deal about but an enjoyable Christmas day walk.

ReplyDeleteA great collection of birds for Christmas day. I hope the new year is a good one for you. Those little birds with the scarlet breasts are especially beautiful.
