A quick walk around the farm on Monday before heading to pick up
Ingrid, who was down for a visit, produced a female
Stonechat. On Tuesday morning we headed up to London for the day, a
Siskin flying over at home and a
Peregrine seen in Sutton before we
headed to the Barbican, had lunch in Finsbury Park, where we enjoyed feeding about 30
Pochards, and finished the day by
seeing The Lion King. I got out to Beddington this afternoon, producing a
yellow German-ringed first-winter
Caspian
Gull, which I didn’t manage to read for sure but I’m quite certain it was
X319 again. Not quite a classic bird, it’s possible it may have impure
heritage. A
Water Pipit was also
seen and one of the wintering
Chiffchaffs
was in song.
