I thought I would take advantage of the nice day and clean my conservatory windows. Whilst doing this job, a few Blackbirds, Starlings, Goldfinches, and Dunnock, were all seen.
I then broke for a late breakfast, then, late morning I carried on with my cleaning duties. It was approaching mid-day when I finished, and around about 1158 I had a thought that this appears a good day for a Peregrine.........two minutes later a mid-day.....a Peregrine flew overhead in a west to east heading in a direct and quite leisurely flight. A flock of Starlings gathered to form a tight-knit group and were clearly intent on watching the Falcon depart the area. Perhaps in May I should wish for a Bee-eater overhead!!!!!
Little Cressingham (The Arms to Watton Brook)
Robin in Bramble at Little Cressingham, Norfolk 29/12/14 |
The highlight was seeing a good number of Fieldfares in the fields all along the northern side of Watton Brook. These beautiful Thrushes were feeding on the ground whilst a few were seen to take berries from a Hawthorn hedge.
In my immediate vicinity at Watton Brook, a Wren was typically skulking in the dense waterside herbage. This Robin and Blue Tits were also making good use of this cover in their search for food.
Happy New Year, Paul...
