Lower Healey 10.9.11
Still quiet at Lower Healey with very little in the air. Full sightings:-
Cormorant over, pair Mute Swan and 2 cygnets, hybrid goose, pair Tufted Duck, Mallard 19, Coot 4, Moorhen, BH Gull and LBB Gull over, Woodpigeon, GS Pecker, Meadow Pipit, Swallow 5 over, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Robin, Wren, Dunnock, Chiffchaff, Blue, Great, Coal and LT Tit (min12), Nuthatch, Jay 3, Magpie, Crow, Chaffinch, Goldfinch 7, Siskin
Insects:- Speckled Wood, Small White
Flora:- plant with small white flowers similar to Japanese Knotweed, but on bindweed stems with small leaves, which I have identified as Copse Bindweed - I don't thinK I've seen it before. Is it common, anyone?
Also in Lyons Lane ca 50 Starling attacking a Rowan - there's going to be nothing left for Waxwings at that rate!

Carol,
It was alongside the path between Top and Bottom Lodge at Lower Healey, in the hedgerow below Top Lodge. When I saw the flowers I assumed it was Japanese Knotweed, but when I looked closer, I realised it was some kind of bindweed. You can't miss it because there's quite a lot. I would appreciate a confirmation or correction of id.
