Today started with two Collared Doves at the entrance to the glade (surely not thinking about nesting already!). Later, a walk along the Cart revealed several flooded sections and a whole collection of unusual occurences and assemblages. Most notable were the following:
At least 17 Collared Doves in one flock (I have never seen more than two together locally)
Several large tit flocks including one containing at least 12 Long tailed Tits
A Dipper on an exposed log near the Leverndale bend
A Kestrel rising with prey from the rough grass in front of Leverndale Hospital
A Goosander under Howford Bridge
Gangs of Fieldfares with some Mistle Thrushes hanging on
An unprecedented 24 Mallards in a tight group
Three to four hundred corvids on stubble.
