There were 9 NORTHERN WHEATERS (2 Females) on the rough ground opposite Argos at 08:40 this morning and this had increased to 11 by 10:45 ( per Chris Bird ); however a brief look at 13:30 revealed exactly NONE ! Not a single Wheatear in evidence
Whilst looking (unsuccessfully) for Roy’s Common Redstart (Incidentally species 123 for the Furzton List!) I found 3 BLACKCAPS (1 Female) and 2 Long Tailed Tits nest building.
Common Chiffchaffs are officially everywhere !
12 Great Crested Grebes were the highlight of Furzton Lake! (There was a Barnacle Goose present briefly last Saturday)
