Elsecar Road : Red-legged Partridge 2 (in one of the horse paddocks).
Lake : Grey Heron 1, Shoveler 4, Pochard 2, Tufted Duck 24, Goosander 1, Coot (colour-ringed bird).
Spoil Heap : Grey Partridge (several, calling).
TPT : Water Rail 1 (calling from adjacent stream).
Pit Lane : Jay 2.
Matalan (lights) : Early Moth 1 &
Pale Brindled Beauty (1 of 3)
Chestnut
Satellite
Birds : January / Year - 69
With the weather turning cold again for the foreseeable, i can`t see there being much variety to report for a while.
4 birds + 4 moths not on my lists yet this year Dean - nice one
ReplyDeleteCheers

Sounds good Dean, nice to get a few moths on the list, we haven't started here yet.
ReplyDeleteA nice little selection of moths there Dean...lets hope we dont have too prolonged a cold snap
ReplyDeleteWell done, I hope that it won't be too cold for too long.
ReplyDeleteDave : Cheers. They make up for what you have got on your year list ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlan : Cheers. Having seen the weather forecast, it might be a while now before your moth list starts.
Jason/ Toffeeapple : Thanks. According to the forecast we`re in for a prolonged cold spell.
You had a Grey Wag yet this year Dean, could be the one to beat last Jan's species total :-)
ReplyDeleteWarren : Had one early in the month. Wigeon, Teal, Great Crested Grebe, Snipe or Peregrine are the most likely additions.
ReplyDeleteThe Jay is a bird to brighten a winter's day. Glad you're seeing some good stuff, Dean.
ReplyDeleteRob : Cheers. The views of Jays i get on my patch, are a bit like the ones i get of Green Woodpeckers, in being the arse end as they fly away.
