Dog Walking

Circular walk with the dogs this morning from home produced flock of 18-20 Linnet, also lots of Meadow Pipits still carrying food into cover, along with a single Dunnock doing the same.
Family group of 5 Mistle Thrush & another group of 6 Magpies. Lots of Swallows around and a few distant Swifts. One Willow Warbler gave a brief few notes of song but stayed out of sight.

No raptors today but yesterday evening produced 1 male Sparrowhawk and 2 Kestrels. Also yesterday a female Pheasant with at least 2 chicks but probably more had hidden in the long grass.
