A Jay from the reserve.

One of the 7 or 8 Jays on the reserve has just popped over the fence into my garden for a peanut from the bird table. Hes a welcome flash of colour on this dull December morning.

November 2011 Summary.

November 2011 has been a very mild month as well as a quiet month for the reserve.

There has been plenty of fungi in the damp conditions which I can look at in the future.

The regulars have been about and I feel really sorry for the local buzzard who is constantly mobbed whenever it visits the reserve.

Every day I am almost guaranteed to see both Great spotted and Green woodpeckers.

My species count is currently at 33 (16 for November) but I'm sure it will get much higher in the new year as spring approaches.
