Chrisity Mar 2016 11:18pm, 12 Mar 2016 14,476 posts	Quote Pin Chrisity Running down to parkrun this morning, 2 GSW's drumming, Cetti, Sparrowhawk, Gold, Green, Chaff finches singing as well as blue and great tits, song thrush, blackbird, dunnock, robins, wren, and several waterbirds. Great to be alive sometimes.

Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2016 10:36am, 13 Mar 2016 674 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend A rather odd thing just happened. I heard a tapping noise and went into the kitchen to see a long-tailed tit sitting on the windowsill tapping away at the glass. We regarded each other with surprise for a few moments before he flew away.
Perfect Organism Mar 2016 2:38pm, 13 Mar 2016 558 posts	Quote Pin Perfect Organism You're exposing me as a fraud Steve! My run through the woods did involve some fields and I probably did mean a skylark. I've only seen one once before and it was on open fields but I recognise the call. That radio transmitter type call. I was looking out for it hovering, but couldn't see it anywhere sadly.

jacdaw Mar 2016 6:22pm, 13 Mar 2016 1,602 posts	Quote Pin jacdaw LTTs are forever collecting spider webs from my window frames FragileDNB; maybe it was doing that? Lots of skylarks for me today, and Golden Plover, Lapwing and Curlew. Plus the first frogspawn of the year.
Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2016 6:36pm, 13 Mar 2016 675 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend I wondered if the LTT could see his reflection and thought it was a rival? No idea if it was male or female though.
oi you Mar 2016 7:32pm, 13 Mar 2016 321 posts	Quote Pin oi you I saw lots of swans in a field today. I'd guess around 25 to 30. I did start to count them, but it's not compatible with riding a bike.
Derby Tup Mar 2016 7:39pm, 13 Mar 2016 20,503 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Worth a check to look for Whoopers (same size as a mute swan but paler, more yellowy bill - check for straight necks when grounded, rather than the mute's "S-shape") or Berwicks (much smaller). I always used to think Whooper sounds like whopper
oi you Mar 2016 8:38pm, 13 Mar 2016 322 posts	Quote Pin oi you Yup, that looks like 'em (having check on-line for pics). Not that I could see them clearly any more than I could count them. We were in the wilds of the Romney Marsh (following club-mates doing a 20 & a Half) & they (the swans obv.) would have been beside a drainage ditch.
