Shaw Hill Golf Course 11/6

Post by John Frankland »

Unfortunately no Ospreys or birdies on the 18th like Ian at Duxbury yesterday !

But a glorious day of weather was better than the standard of today’s golf.

Highlights on the bird side were:

Ring-necked Parakeet 1-2 (1 seen over 15th after an earlier (or same) one was calling by the 6th).
Buzzard 2.
Moorhen 1 with 2 young. Parent actually charged me as I got too close !
Swift 2. House Martin 5. Swallow 1.
Great Spotted Woodpecker 4.
Nuthatch 3
Chiffchaff 1 singing
Blackcap 1 singing
Bullfinch 2-4. 1 pair seen and 2 others (or same heard).
Jay 2.

Grey Squirrel 1. Also plenty of turquoise Damselflies and a couple of larger brown Dragonflies. I’m not familiar with names of any of these.
