A few days ago, I had a drive down to Far Pastures. Quite a few Teal were on the pond but I did not see any Mallard which is unusual for Far Pastures. Along the lane were the usual suspects darting in and out of the bushes. It was a canny couple of hours.
The Water
Rail was always too far away for any decent shots.
Two Water
Rail. I could them long before I saw them and in fact there were more than two
calling.
The Snipe
were, again, too far away for decent shots.
Along the
lane a Jay did a fly pass carrying an acorn.
Another
Jay was sitting on a fence its feathers ruffled by a…
…Pheasant sitting
above it.
The
Pheasant jumped off the fence when the Jay flew off.
Also along
the lane were this Dunnock
And this
Bullfinch.
Three Red
Kites were flying above the field.
Including
H5 a male fledged at Sunniside Gateshead in 2014.
