Just the 1 Chiffchaff, 2 Robins and a Blue Tit in the Lane Here.
Most of the action was in the lower Horse paddock Here, where there were 80+ Meadow Pipits, just the 1 Stonechat, 1 Blackcap in the brambles and a Wheatear. Also about were a dozen or so Starlings in winter plumage and a small flock of 7 Linnets heading south.
Here are a few images and a video from this morning.
The lower Paddocks just north of Bumpers Lane
In the northeast corner 80+ Meadow Pipit and a Wheatear.
One of the Stonechats still here......
.......at the top of Moorfield Road.
Along the fence line a Meadow Pipit............
.........with others feeding on insects in amongst the horses dung.........
.......and grasses.
A Chiffchaff on its way south.......
.....via a bramble.
Two Starlings now taking on their winter colours.
A Wheatear was in amongst the Meadow Pipits.
Looks in good condition as well.
Which it will need for its long journey south.
Its been a good few days in the horse paddocks with Wryneck, Hoopoe, turtle Dove and now a Wheatear.
I suspect a garden plant.
I did wonder Jasmine, but these flowers were completely scentless.
