| | Welcome to our newest member, Freddi | |  | Had the afternoon to myself today so I walked from Anderwood, through Burley Outer Rails Inclosure, Beech Bed Inclosure, Soarley Bottom, Backley Holms, Bratley Wood, North Oakley Inclosure & Mark Ash Wood.
Although not a cloud in the sky & only a slight cold breeze the birds weren't showing as much as they do in the mornings still.
The highlight today was a Great Grey Shrike that perched on top of a tree at Soarley Beeches.  ... | Knight Commander of the Wild Empire | | Comments 1
 | | | Started of from Blackwater at 7am this morning. Another clear but cold morning. As I walked from the car through Poundhill Inclosure Song Thrushes, Robins & Goldcrest were singing, Great Tits & Chaffinches were calling, as was a Crossbill from a tall Douglas Fir. Further on in, a Roe doe & her kid disappeared in to the trees.
Out on Poundhill Heath were a group of Red hinds. These were joined by a couple of herds of Fallow does that walked from the trees at the edge of the... | Knight Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 4

Coal Tits

| | | Perfect cold, clear morning today & not even a breeze. Shame I only had a couple of hours to walk round.
At last its getting noticably lighter in the mornings too, as I parked up in the half-light at 7.10am.
With Robins & Song Thrushes singing all around me, I tried to take a pic of the sky lightening up in the east through the trees, but it was a bit too dark for the camera so they didn't come out very well.
As I walked through Mark Ash Song Thrushes & Robins were... | Knight Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | | Worked in Wooton Coppice Inclosure today.
We were working on an area that had been a Western Hemlock block which had been felled about 7 years ago & we were clearing the silver Birch that is starting to encroach. In the summer this cleared area has Marbled Whites, the odd Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary along with the common butterflies & Roesel's Bush-cricket.
Just as we started work a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker called & then started to drum. Other birds... | Knight Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 1
