Lower Horse Paddock, Higher Horse Paddock,, Broadcroft Butterfly Reserve, Broadcroft Quarry Lane and Bumpers Lane

After a pretty busy day I finally managed to get a walk in. Unfortunately it was a very late walk and unsurprisingly there wasn't much about, with the only real highlight being a Meadow Pipit, which I very nearly stood on in the butterfly reserve.

Other than that, the Pheasant is still very much in residence and this afternoon was in the higher horse paddock.

Birds Recorded:
Kestrel
Pheasant
Herring Gull
Wood Pigeon
1 Meadow Pipit
Dunnock
Robin
Blackbird
Magpie
Carrion Crow
Jackdaw
House Sparrow
Chaffinch
Goldfinch

And this male Pheasant is right at home feeding on grain, either in the butterfly reserve (where the temporary horse paddock is) or in the higher horse paddock right next door.
