Old Quarry Lane, Wakeham Meadow, Wakeham Railway Cuttings, Mermaid Track, Bumpers Lane and Lower Horse Paddock

Yet another wet miserable day, but it wasn't going to stop Ted and I from doing our exercise walk around the block.

With the steady drizzle falling I wasn't expecting to see much, and so it proved to be the case with the only highlights being 1 Chiffchaff and a Great Spotted Woodpecker along the railway cuttings, 12 Long-tailed Tits along Bumpers Lane and 3 Stonechats & a Song Thrush in the Lower Horse paddock.

Here are a few images and videos of the Chiffchaff along Wakeham Railway Cuttings:






Along Bumpers Lane were 12 Long-tailed Tits and these Goldfinches.

This is what you call a record shot. A photograph of a Song Thrush taken at long distance in the lower Horse paddock. Even at a good 80 metres away, I was surprised it hadn't spotted me and flown off.


And Ted letting the local Foxes know that he can smell them in Bumpers Lane Quarry.

Birds Recorded: 1 Cormorant, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Wood Pigeon, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 5 Meadow Pipit, 2 Pied Wagtail, Dunnock, Robin, 3 (2m & 1f) Stonechat, Blackbird, Song Thrush, 1 Chiffchaff, 12 Long-tailed Tit, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Wren, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, House Sparrow, Chaffinch and Goldfinch
