This weekend`s Ted walks took in Dengemarsh Gully, Lade pits and Pirate Springs where a trickle of passing migrants included mainly Swallows, Meadow Pipits, Skylarks and a Wheatear at the Springs, plus Goldfinches, Siskins and Blackbirds at the Gully along with two Firecrests, but no sign of Friday`s Pallas`s Warbler. Robins, Chiffchaffs, Stonechats and Goldcrests continue to be well represented in the bushes across all three sites while two Blackcaps lingered at the ponds.
This afternoon in wet and windy weather conditions I joined Chris P for the first harrier count of autumn/winter at Walland Marsh where 12 Marsh Harriers settled down to roost. Due to the dreadful weather there was little else of note apart from several hundred feral Greylags over.
