RXwildlife Sightings

Frosty but sunny, and Yellowhammer in song for the first time this year, down Watermill Lane.
(I heard my first Reed Bunting singing on Thursday at Pett Pools too).
(And my first Blackbird last night.)
The Common Gulls on the fields at Pickham Farm were lying down on the frosty ground, rather than marching about as usual. I’d noticed the same thing behind our house earlier. Perhaps they have delicate feet?
Around Pickham Mill were all 3 woodpeckers, Marsh Tit and Stock Dove, along with c80 Fieldfares.
Along the stream at the wood’s northern end were c50 Siskins, a squealing Water Rail and a Snipe.

Flat Beach Flood attracted a good selection of Birds this morning the highlights were: 200+ Black Headed Gull, 4 Mediterranean Gull, 92 Golden Plover, 250+ Lapwing, 120 Dunlin, 9 Grey Plover, 14 Ringed Plover, 18 Redshank, 21 Shelduck and 10 Brent Goose. At Ternery Pool 38 Shoveler and 20 Teal were roosting along the banks. A Barn Owl was again hunting early morning at the Winchelsea Beach end of Harbour Farm. And three Brown Hare were charging around on West Beach.
