Lamin's Lane in the Rain
Lamin's Lane before work... the forecast said it would rain early morning, but clearing when it got light. Well no it didn't! I took the camera, but there was no point getting it out of the bag. At least I saw a few decent things, so it wasn't an awful morning. First up was a couple of Cormorant flying over Lamin's Lane heading towards Mill Lakes. Next was a flock of 25 Pied Wagtail feeding in the junction corner of the Golden Plover field, and a flock of around 35 Linnet were at the eastern side of the field. A small group of five or six Chaffinch in one of the nearby oaks caught my attention as one bird on the far side of the tree looked Brambling-ish; but it was just too dark to be sure, and moving closer just flushed them all away. Heading back, six Pheasant - three male, three female - were in the field next to Warrenhill Plantation.
