Just like buses ! 8th March 2012

.... Why was i getting worried about Treecreeper and Jay ? ! 2 TREECREEPERS feeding in the Hills and Hollows today and a JAY feeding by middle Paddock were the highlights of a 2 hour bike ride around the patch

A Jay !

Very litle else of note , 5 Little Egrets ( 4 in Bancroft Stream amd one in southern section ) , 3 Great Spotted Woodpeckers inc pair in Bancroft North wood , 1 Green Woodpecker , male LITTLE GREBE in Smew Arm , the GC Grebes have built a nest already in the Big Arm, 8 Redwing still remain in Bradwell Abbey Paddock

Unfortunately I have just found another good area in the northern part of the industrial area where a recent demoliton has taken place , screaming out for LRP and Wheatear ! is now part of my daily stops ;-)

There are lots of little pools out there ......

Now thinking I have missed Siskin and Redpoll for the year ;-(

Really need another patch tick to keep the enthusiasm up ! ;-) but at least i am not as down as the next chap
