Thursday, November 16

I only got chance for a few quick glances from the window today. A largish hawk flew quite low in front of the trees heading west at 15:20 - probable one of the local female Sparrowhawk, which are providing quite elusive for me.

A flock of around 15-20 Black-headed Gull were doing something a bit odd around the nearby oak tree. They were hovering just above it (almost touching) in the wind/thermals and seemed to be feeding from it. Maybe there's some insects that favour the top of oaks trees?

Black-headed Gulls

A single male Blackbird was at the top of one of the conifers, and the usual small Goldfinch flock was also around.
