What have you seen

Just come back from a week in Northumberland  and saw hundreds of greylag geese on the move ready for the winter, also a lots of waders but unable to see what as going along in a friends car. Also a lots berries about so could be a good winter for seeing different species feeding on them.

The jays in our plot are busy collecting acorns never seen so many jays about, a sign of a hard winter.

best spots today 2 x Bull Finches, a Hen Harrier and a bust up between Buzzards and Redkites 

I too have seen a lot of Jays recently, more than usual at this time of year.

Out with the dog this morning Came face to face with a fox nearly as big as the dog  they just stared at each other before the fox ambled back into the hedge.

Is that cos you're  in the foreign? Certainly seems like a very bold fox 😲

No they grow big foxes in Cornwall 😂😂😂 Wardens here say there are lots of them about. They take over the site apparently when it closes. Lots of rabbits which could account for the size of the foxes.😉

Most mornings and sometimes during the day we see Munjac Deer when walking Rosa,today we saw one of our wood wardens,and he was doing another count as the deer population is now to be culled as there are far more than the area is capable of sustaining,as they these day have no natural predators 

Visited Greylake Reserve nr Bridgewater today. Spotted a Marsh Harrier and an Egret, and a Reed Bunting on the feeder at the car park  before getting to the main hide. Very little activity there, although heard a Water Rail close by. Just as I was leaving there was a commotion in the willows behind the entrance and spotted Long-tailed Tits and a Firecrest, a first for me!!

Hi Nellie

If you are still in the area, Westhay moore offers a good chance to see Bearded Tits near the island hide.

Hurricane Ophelia gave a rare treat to those in the Bristol area this morning.

Due to Saharan dust and other factors stirred up by the high winds, the morning sun turned very red.

Quite a surprise.

The wind is getting a bit stronger now, but the light is very eirrey.
