2009年11月 22-11-09, Shustoke Resevoir.I fancied a bit of a change from my local patch and I am sure any regular readers are getting fed up. A couple of Great Northern Divers had been there a few days and, after looking at one of the pictures on Birdguides, one of them looked as if it was in summer plumage. Having never seen one in this condition, I decided to go and have a look. I arrived pretty early and walked around the whole resevoir. Birds noted were Carrion Crow, Black-headed Gull, Blackbird, Robin, Wren, Coot, Mallard, Canada Geese, Tufted Duck, Pheasant, Great-crested Grebe, Wood Pigeon, Great Tit, Cormorant, Redwing, Collared Dove, Grey Wagtail, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Siskin 8 flew over, Little Grebe, Blue Tit, Dunnock, Long-tailed Tit and Lapwing. No sign of any divers, but a good walk anyway.
22-11-09, Lea Marston/Coton Lakes.
I dont know which lake I was looking over but it was the one with the Environment Agency hide, overlooking one of the purification lakes (Lea Marston I think).
Birds seen were Coot, Mute Swan, Black-headed Gull, Blackbird, Magpie, Wood Pigeon, Tufted Duck, Cormorant, Great-crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Moorhen, Pochard, Mallard, Teal, Wigeon, Robin, Lapwing and Long-tailed Tit. Lots of birds but not many species but still an enjoyable hour in the hide before the rain came.
No birding next weekend as saturday I am helping a voluteer group build a tern raft , plant some flower plugs, and build some hibernaculums (I think that is what they are). Sunday I have a fishing match. 21-11-09, Croxall GP.Another walk around a couple of local patches today. Weather forecast was not brilliant plus some things to do led me to Croxall first thing. It was a pleasant start to the day so I walked up to the hide, had a quick scan, and then went and had a goosy around the east side. Birds seen on the main side were Jackdaw, Robin, Wren, Carrion Crow, Wood Pigeon, Magpie, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Redwing, Moorhen, Mallard, Starling, Blue Tit, Treecreeper, Great Tit, Grey Heron, Teal, Fieldfare, Goldeneye, Black-headed Gull, Cormorant, Great-crested Grebe, Lapwing, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Bullfinch and Coot. The workmen working on the river profiling were busy at work so thet were pushing the ducks out of the hidden bay on the right and over the far side opposite the hide. Through to the east side and I added Pheasant, Meadow Pipit, Long-tailed Tit, Reed Bunting, Little Egret and Rook. Back towards the car and I could hear the sound of guns going mad around the area. I added Blackbird, Green Woodpecker and Song Thrush on the way back.
21-11-09, Whitemoor Haye.
With the guns going crazy, I was not sure about here but I thought what The heck. I parked outside Whitemoor Haye house (the empty one), and walked upto, and around, the rough track. Then I walked back to the car via the quarry pool. Birds noted were 130 Mute Swan, Blackbird, Wren, Carrion Crow, Starling about 600 - 700 in a flock, Pied wagtail 26 in a field, Skylark circa 20 together, Black-headed Gull, Stock Dove, Blue Tit, Dunnock, Magpie, Lapwing 33 overhead, Chaffinch, Long-tailed Tit, and Fieldfare. On the quarry pool I saw 30 Tufted Duck, 1 Teal, and 4 Great-crested Grebes. The heavy machinery have moved in and started work on the centre which is to be built on the land. Rubbish. 2009年11月 15-11-09, Willington GP.After Saturdays washout and tv-a-thon, I had to get out so it was this ace reserve first of all. I will admit I did not do all of this reserve as someone said nothing was on the canal pit. A bit of a copout and I should really have walked round but it is a fair distance. from the car and walking up to the first viewing point I saw Wood Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Wren, Pheasant, Black-headed Gull, Redwing, Blackbird, Bullfinch, Chaffinch and Goldfinch. From the first viewing point I saw Shoveler, Mallard, Moorhen, Coot, Robin, Great-crested Grebe, Wigeon and Reed Bunting. From the second platform I added Tufted Duck and Cormorant. I have alsways found this platform a bit useless as the vegetation has got too tall to see the pit or any of the water. Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has a machine in there and they have dug out a channel. This will be much better. Well dom DWT. Some noisy Canad Geese were added on the way to the third platform and Magpie, Goldeneye, Gadwall, Grey Heron, Pochard, Teal, Lapwing, Jackdaw, Starling and Kestrel were seen from platform 3. Walking back to the car I added Blue Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Dunncok, Great Tit, Linnet, Jay and Skylark.
15-11-09, Alrewas GP.
Breakfast was calling but I popped in here to have a quick look. Birds noted were Blackbird, Wren, Mute Swan, Robin, Long-tailed Tit, Black-headed Gull, Canada Geese, Dunnock, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coot, Lapwing, Mallard, Chaffinch, Tufted Duck, Great-crested Grebe, Buzzard, Redshank, Pied Wagtail, Redwing, Magpie, Dunnock, Starling, Pochard, Wigeon, Goldeneye, Little Grebe, Wood Pigeon, Carrion Crow and Cormorant.
15-11-09, Junction Pit.
I could not visit Alrewas gravel pit and not pop to the Junction Pit. A short walk to the site and there was not much around at all. Magpie, Wren, Blackbird, Black-headed Gull, Lapwing, Great-crested Grebe, Mallard, Carrion crow, Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail, Wood Pigeon, Greenfinch and Reed Bunting were all seen.
15-11-09, Whitemoor Haye.
After a rather splendid, but rather late, breakfast I decided to walk it off with a good walk around the lanes of Whitemoor. I parked near the quarry and walked up the road, around the rough track and back again. Birds noted were Mute Swan, Starling, Skylark, Carrion Crow, Wood Pigeon, Black-headed Gull, Robin, Dunnock, Pied Wagtail, Blackbird, Meadow Pipit, Wren, Carrion Crow, Linnet, Tree Sparrow, Cormorant, Jackdaw and Magpie. very quite. I then went to the have a look over the quarry pool and I noted 53 Tufted Duck, 21 Wigeon, 11 Pochard, 1 Great-crested Grebe, 6 Goldeneye, and 2 Mallard.
15-11-09, Croxall GP.
I was half thinking about doing a gull roost at either Blithfield or Chasewater but a) I could not find my WMBC members card and b) as satyrday was rubbish and todays weather was lovely, Chasewater would proberbly be rammed. I decided to finish at Croxall and have an early day to go and watch Ireland v Australia in the rugby union (and a good match it was too). Birds seen were Teal, mallard, Coot, Goosander, Wren, Canada Geese, Wood Pigeon, Redwing, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Blue Tit, Marsh Tit, Robin, Long-tailed Tit, Black-headed Gull, Chaffinch, Mute Swan, Magpie, Wigeon, Dunnock, Green Woodpecker, Cormorant, Fieldfare, Pheasant, Moorhen, Snipe, Pied Wagtail, Redshank and Lapwing. I walked around by the river on the east side where a load of work is being done to shape the river and provide shallow areas. It is looking very good, they have dug right into the field. Should be good habitat for the future.
2009年11月 14-11-09, late news.No birding today but 4th tv bird, Herring Gull on Doc Martin last Sunday. 2009年11月 11-11-09, Whitemoor Haye.A check on the gull roost but first I decided to see the swans. I counted 110 Mute Swans near Sittles farm. No Whoopers though. 60 Greylag Geese flew in and joined them. Other birds in the area included Carrion Crow, Magpie, a few Black-headed Gulls and a single Buzzard. Over to the pool and I noted 34 Tufted Duck, the single Canada Goose which seemed ok when it flapped its wings, 2 Pochard, 12 Mallard, 19 Wigeon, a single Redshank, 6 Goldeneye, and a single Great Crested Grebe. |
