Taking Stock........

I usually see Stock doves flying off into the distance or in the middle of a field miles away. Today I got a great view of two on the Flood with a pair of Woodpigeons, very good looking bird. On the track were Lesser Whitethroat and fledged, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Wren, Blackbird, Dunnock. On the maize field were about 40 Lapwing. The recent heavy rain meant nothing much on the Wildfowlers’ Pool apart from 2 Oystercatchers. On the marsh were 5 Raven, one of which getting serious hassle from a Oystercatcher. Plenty of Swift, Swallow and House Martins around.
