Not Gone Yet

This morning I headed up to Lamin's Lane to find that the Golden Plover were still around. In fact there were between 230 and 240 in the usual fallow field at the corner, and almost all were now in their summer plumage. A couple of pairs of Lapwing were also present, as were pairs of Linnet and Skylark.

At least a dozen Tree Sparrow were on the large feeder again, and a Chiffchaff was bathing in one of the puddles along the lane. Two males and female Yellowhammer were along the hedgerows and overhead wires.

On my way back through the woods I attempted some phonescoping on one of three skulking Jay that were screeching behind Alexandra Lodge.
