24th March 2009

I heard back from the BBRC. Not suprisingly, they presumed the RB Goose/Geese yesterday to be escapes. Nevermind. Patch list stands at 79.

Today, no sign of the winter thrushes from yesterday, perhaps they were resting before moving North. I haven't heard Chiffchaffs for a few days either. I should think this is down to the weather rather than them having moved on.

Today:

Egyptian Goose - Still on the trout lake. At least there's just one of them, or they'd end up breeding and taking over the place like the wretched parakeets!
Greylag Goose - 3.
Canada Goose - 4.
Coot - 9.
Linnet - 26 (a good figure round here).
Greenfinch, chaffinch, goldfinch, Green woodpecker and a pair of Jays.

Total species count today - 25.
Patch list - Still 79.
