Stock Dove Flock and Buzzard at Cleve Hill

 11th Jan.

Quiet the last couple of days, the regular buzzards are always about on their regular perches and the big flock of stock doves I saw before Xmas were feeding on the field near the barn owl box allowing me to get a fairly accurate count of 330.

                                                                                       

Yesterday afternoon there was no show of the owls so a seawatch in the fading light produced, GND and velvet scoter plus 6 mergansers.

Earlier in the morning I saw 6 shoveler, c.70 teal and 2 mallard in the NRA dyke plus a peregrine.

Late pm I took a moon shot with the RX before going home.
