Rose City Bird Observatory and also Area Centre: 21st January

Generally an even more of the very same day: the Reap Lane Little Gull sought to have actually carried on to fields brand-new however the Cirl Pennant got on program there every so often, the Purple Sandpipers, Black Redstart and also Cetti’s Warbler stayed at the Costs and also the popular option of scuba divers, grebes, Eiders and also various other waterfowl remained in Rose city Harbour. 8 Red-throated Scuba Divers going by off the Costs made up the early morning’s sea activity there, with songs of Golden Plover and also Snipe on the land there most likely not in fact brand-new however a minimum of hidden for a couple of days.

Chiffchaffs appear to be in rather brief supply this winter season: this set often visiting the Obs yard and also Crown Estate Area is the just one at the Costs and also we have documents of simply 5 various other people at 4 websites thus far this month …

… the Obs bird virtually really did not make it past today: it flew right out of the field of vision after this picture was taken and also an instant later on a Sparrowhawk came collapsing with the fallen leaves, gone for a minute to assess missing out on lunch and afterwards zoomed off to seek a few other unlucky target © Martin Cade:

The male Black Redstart has actually been gathering all the interest at the Costs in current days and also the female/immature that’s had to do with all winter season needs to be really feeling a little bit overlooked © Mike Trew:
