1st January 2022
Gusty winds outside restricted my living room window start to the year to seven species - Woodpigeon, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Blackbird, Starling, Collared Dove and Black-headed Gull. We then went for a family visit to Whitlingham,and whilst feeding the ducks I managed to read ten Mute Swan rings and one Black-headed Gull ring. Highlights included Little Egret, Shoveler, Wigeon and Goldeneye (the latter seen distantly through Justin's telescope having met him part way round). We also noticed an unusual looking skull, which I assume by a process of elimination must be Pike, but am open to ideas. On the way back a Nuthatch called from the picnic meadow.
