Wintering Stonechat kickstarts year at the pits


 
Male Stonechat

Female Stonechat

Meadow Pipit
Starling
Linnet
Pied Wagtail
 
Peregrine

A very steady start to the year at Salford Priors where I recorded 57 species around the different areas. The best find of the morning was a pair of wintering Stonechat close to Marsh Farm. This pair showed very well in the winter sunshine.

I bumped in Mark at the top of the recording area who had the same idea to see if feeders would get us a couple of additional species. The plan worked well as we added Great Spotted Woodpecker, Coal Tit  and Nuthatch. (Sightings only from 2nd Jan)
