A welcome sunny,clear day saw me up at Cresswell where the large flock of Pink Feet remain,around 2,000+ being disturbed from feeding by a Police helicopter. I didn’t attempt to count the many Wigeon here,but noted 80 Twite adjacent to Bell’s Farm. Here too were a few Skylarks and a Meadow Pipit. Larks were heard singing today at several sites including St Marys and East Chevington. Great to hear!<\/p>\n

At that latter site the female Marsh Harrier was hunting the reedbeds and a pair seen at another site. On the North Pool were Red necked Grebe,2 Slavonian Grebes , 26 Goldeneye and 2 female Long tailed Duck and a Red Breasted Merganser. A female Stonechat seen near the track to the south hide. At feeders here, 14 Redpoll, 4 Siskin, 4 Reed Buntings and several Tits and Chaffinches gave a good show until a male Sparrowhawk landed on the ground\u00a0among them causing panic. On this occasion he missed.<\/p>\n\"jFeb2014,redpolls<\/a> \"jFeb2014,redpolls<\/a> \"jFeb2014,redpolls<\/a> \"jFeb2014,redpolls<\/a>\n
