Newbiggin Birds
My time the last few weeks has been divided between Chevington and Newbiggin. It is the time of year when every common bird is checked in case it is one of the scarcer subspecies (see last two posts). It is also the time when my copy of 'Advanced Bird ID Guide' by Nils Van Duivendijk gets the most use.
Fortunately the Snow Buntings found by AP didn't need any scrutiny.

Not What I Was Expecting!
Wood Duck
Iceland Gull
Dead Fish
Fungal Infection?
Great Spotted Woodpecker
New Garden Bird
Red-legged Partridge
Not surprising since the local farm has released 30+ as well as c20 White Pheasants and 100+ Pheasants. Happy Shooting *** ******* *******!
If you complained about the cold wind and rain today (like me) at least we could do something about it?
