Tuesday 5th March 2024 - Marshfield, Corsham Lake, By Brook.
On Tuesday Tony and David went to Marshfield, no Bryan as he was not feeling very well. Parking just outside the village we spotted Goldfinch, Starling, Collared Dove and Jackdaw before walking to Rushmead Lane. On the way we added Blackbird, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon and 2 species of gull Herring and Lesser Black Back. As we reached the 1 st lot of houses in the garden we found Robin, Redwing and Chaffinch. In Rushmead Lane David found a Buzzard sat in a tree and a Pied Wagtail was on a rooftop. By the small pond we added Long Tailed and Great Tit. As we continued a Kestrel flew over and we found the 1 st of many Skylarks. Common Gulls were plentiful and less so Magpie. David then spotted a Red Legged Partridge sat on a wall which turned into 3 as we scanned the wall. All was then quiet with only the song of Skylark until we spotted movement in a bush that turned out to be a Dunnock, with other birds flying into the bush from the field most were Linnets...
