Misty for Me

Greeted by a fine mist at Lamin's Lane this morning, I went in hope for Golden Plover. The usual field had now been ploughed, and there was no sign of them. A few Lapwing were there, and a pair of Grey Partridge too, which provided me with a year tick. Two Canada Goose flew over towards the reservoir, and a Great Spotted Woodpecker flew to Warrenhill Plantation from one of the oaks along the lane. A Skylark was singing from a lump of soil in Top Breck, and four Pied Wagtail were feeding together in Top Woods Ground. Also along the lane were plenty of Tree Sparrow - some paired up - and the odd Yellowhammer too. A single Bullfinch was seen near Sycamore Coppice, and at least six Song Thrush were singing along my entire route. Singles of Redwing and Mistle Thrush were near the Triangle, as were a singing Nuthatch, and a few Siskin.
