New Romney - Mild, showery, SW 3 - This weekend`s Ted walk`s have taken us around a very damp local farmland with gulls and corvids the main theme, plus a few parties of Goldfinches, Linnets, Yellowhammers, Skylarks, Mipits and Reed Buntings, along with several Kestrels and Buzzards. Yesterday evening our Kate and Tim wanted to witness a Starling murmuration, so we headed down to the ARC where a couple of thousand birds duly obliged by performing their aerial ballet in front of the Axel viewpoint before plunging into the reed-bed for the night. Over the years I`ve seen this spectacle many times before, and often comprising far more birds, but it still continues to thrill.
