Lower Healey 22.12.13

Post by Neil Southworth »

No sign of last week's Wigeon and Goldeneye. Wildfowl on the lodges were as follows:-

Pair Mute Swan and 2 juveniles, GC Grebe, Mallard 25, Tufted Duck 4, Coot 17, Moorhen 16

The other main feature was a very active Sparrowhawk, which I saw on three occasions causing panic in small and not so small birds. A Buzzard being mobbed by crows and a Kestrel were also seen. Several Redwing, Blackbird and one or two Fieldfare were feeding in the Hawthorn bushes. Up to 10 Pied Wagtails were feeding in the fields, as were around 30 Rook.
