Heron took off as I passed it, only just dodged the 💩 it offloaded - and there was a *lot* of it! Then nearly got taken out by a sparrow hawk that was swooping down to some poor little brown jobbie as I emerged from a gap between two hedges Haven't seen one for ages, they used to be more common here. |

It’s just something I’m doing regularly but it made me try picture what a bird with 3 ears would look like!!

2 Jays this morning on the grass. Nuthatches on the feeders and flycatcher zooming around. Also heard siskins for the first time in a few weeks. Noisy buggers. |

Popped into Woodwalton Fen and had the place to ourselves and the half a dozen Marsh Harriers there.

Someone mentioned a white wagtail the other day. I assumed that they were the same as a pied wagtail, but there are a pair in my garden right now and they appear larger and skinnier than the pied wagtails I’m used to seeing.

Pied and white wagtails are both the same species, but different subspecies. Pied is the common one we see in the UK and is relatively sedentary, white is widespread on continental Europe but is passage migratory and so visits us in early Spring and late Summer/Autumn. Lovely birds, smart pale grey mantle and just look cleaner and more sparkly somehow
