August Bird Survey
Teasel in Nature reserve
Hello,
Graham has been up at the crack of dawn, walking the fields of the nature reserve and has completed a new bird survey.
We have all seen an increase in Goldfinches over the last few weeks, taking advantage of the finch feeding strip – all the thistles are now going to seed, providing them with their favourite food.
Birds spotted in this month’s survey;
House sparrow, Starling, Blue tit, great tit, Robin, Goldfinch, Crow, Greenfinch, Wood Pigeon, Chaffinch, Great spotted woodpecker, Magpie, Wren, Swallow, Collard Dove, White Dove, Pied Wagtail, Song Thrush, Rook, Yellow hammer, Pheasant, Buzzard & Kestrel.
Don’t forget the Oak fair at Stock Gaylard this Saturday, http://www.stockgaylard.com/oak-fair/oak-fair-at-stock-gaylard.html
a great place to find out more about local conservation groups.
Thanks for reading
Charlotte
