Friday 21 January 2022 - Newton St Loe.
My wife and myself decided to visit Newton St Loe for a walk as the weather was cold but sunny. We packed a coffee and headed for the church where we parked. Walking through the churchyard birds were all around with Great Tit in large numbers as were House Sparrows, also seen were Robin, Greenfinch and Chaffinch. As we entered the field through the churchyard a Blackbird flew past, and a few Woodpigeons were in the field. As we approached Send a Cow a Carrion Crow flew over down through the woods where Blue Tit and Jackdaw were seen. From Butterfly Alley 6 Grey Heron and 3 Moorhen were in the field by the stream and a pair of Mallards were on the stream. Walking on towards the bottom lake 2 Magpie flew across the field. On the bottom lake was a Black Headed Gull plus another 10 Mallard and 2 Moorhen, 4 Cormorants were in the trees to the left of the lake. Cormorants-NSL(Bath Birdwatcher) On the top lake were more Mallard 18no. and 2 more Moorhen. Teal numbers were slightly higher...
