Poor run continues at pits






Another pretty dismal week. Good number of Skylark and Meadow Pipits contine to come through but wildfowl numbers are low and wader movement is non existent.

Sunday count counted by Jon first thing and myself last morning resulted in the following:- 39 Little Grebe, 29 Cormorant, 3 Grey Heron, 26 Mute Swan, 250 Greylag, 8 Canada Geese, 2 Wigeon, 5 Gadwall, 21 Teal, 180 Mallard, 5 Shoveler, 24 Tufted Duck, 125 Coot, 3 Golden Plover through, 70 Lapwing, 200 Skylark, 350 Meadow Pipits,  2 Swallow, 1 House Martin, 1 Rock Pipt circled main pit before heading to central lagoon, 4 Grey Wagtail, 10 alba Wagtails south, 1 Wheatear, 1 Redwing, 2 Blackcap, 8 Chiffchaff, 10 Raven & 70 Linnet. 

Dennis & Marion added 4 Buzzard, 3 Jays & a flock of Meadow Pipits along the Railway lines. 

The first Redwings ( around 20) were noted over Bordon Hill by Ann & Noel on Friday whilst on Wednesday Chris Lane recorded a Kingfisher, 1 Wigeon, 9 Shoveler, 5 Gadwall, 200 Meadow Pipit, 3 Blackcap, a House Martin & a Swallow.
