Yarrow Valley

Post by John Frankland »

Great crested grebe 3
Canada goose 18
Mute swan 2
Reed Bunting 1

And then another couple of magical moment

Went to investigate what was upsetting the magpies. Finally managed to get Treecreeper with 2 fliiting in the ivy. And as watching one,suddenly spotted 2 black eyes looking directly at me from the ivy. A Tawny Owl in the same view as the Treecreeper !! The owl was also harassed by Goldcrest, Nuthatch, Blackbird, Robin, Blue Tir,Great Tit,Coal Tit and Chaffinch !

And just as typing this, 4 Ring-necked Parakeets have flown over !

Treecreeper and Parakeet take me to 97 for the year.

No sign of the Mandarin.

97 :)

Obviously well worth getting up early this lovely spring morning.

Our starlings woke me up when they dislodged the stone covering the hole in our gable end which I had put up to keep out the noisy jackdaws.

AM says that we can let them nest in there because they are not so much of a nuisance and they need every nest hole which they can find. They used to nest inside the eaves but a rodent got to them a couple of years ago.
