Sotterly, Ellough and Mutford Lock.

Bright and warm today even found some Cow Parley that was still flowering. No wind how marvellous.

Carlton Collville: Drove through the back way to Mutford and found over a 100 FIELDFARE to the right of A146.
Sotterly:   On arrival put up a COMMON BUZZARD which flew through the trees only to disappear. Also had a MARSH TIT and a NUTHATCH but there only seemed to be one of each of these which is not the usual. GREAT TIT and BLUE TIT. CHAFFINCH, BLACKBIRD and JACKDAW and ROOKS all looking to nest. Also a pair of JAY kicking off over the back somewhere.
Ellough, Church Lane:  While going through the lane a SONG THRUSH and a pair of BULLFINCH. The male stayed longer than the female but that was also brief.
I had a STOAT run close to the car a HARE out there.
Mutford Lock: A single LITTLE EGERET and 4 REDSHANK and the same as DABCHICK. I also had PIED WAG here and a white rung BLACK HEADED GULL.

Got something in my ear, must be a ringing in my ear?

This bird has been seen through the winter by other Lizards and by me several years ago. Keeps on returning to his homeland of Norway but finds it more comfortable here in the winter.
