Took a stroll through FAUNA this morning on my way to B&Q (Oh! The glamour) and despite the persistent drizzle I saw and/or heard the following:
- Teal
- Mallard
- Pheasant
- Moorhen
- Lapwing
- Snipe
- Curlew
- Black-headed gull
- Lesser black-backed gull
- Herring gull
- Woodpigeon
- Collared dove
- Meadow pipit
- Pied wagtail
- Grey wagtail
- Wren
- Dunnock
- Robin
- Blackbird
- Song thrush
- Mistle thrush
- Blue tit
- Great tit
- Nuthatch
- Jay
- Magpie
- Jackdaw
- Carrion crow
- Starling
- House sparrow
- Chaffinch
- Greenfinch
- Goldfinch
Given that the weather was horrible and that it’s mid-March (not the most productive of birding months) that’s not a bad tally for a casual and brisk walk through the area. On the plus side I didn’t see any off-lead dogs along the path, which was possibly a first.
