1 NOVEMBER 2008 - TRING RESERVOIRS

This morning myself and Roy Hargreaves saw a ROCK PIPIT briefly on the shore near the car park steps at Wilstone. Otherwise, the COMMON REDSHANK remained and a single COMMON GOLDENEYE was present.

When Af's Snow buntings were flying over the Beacon I was walking along the footpath from Pitstone Hill car park to Incombe hole, if only they had headed West along Steps Hill I might have connected with them! Excellent record though Af, just shows what must go through undetected. Good numbers of Skylarks, Corn Buntings, Linnets and Yellowhammer were in the fields around Down farm and ca.300+ Woodpigeons.
2 Ravens in a search of the fields north of the Beacon.

This evening 2 Herring gulls were in the gull roost and 3 DUNLINS amongst the Lapwings at Wilstone.
