Mid February


I’ve not been out a much over the last month but the patchlist is ticking over nicely and  I’m back where I should be covering Woolmer forest and ponds. The square also takes in Passfield Pond and some fields and farmland. I have most of the expected species ticked off so far and the best bird so far is probably Great-crested Grebe which is probably annual at Woolmer but not guaranteed. This years Patchlist table is here.
Many of the inland sites are hardly comparable, clearly Blashford will get tens more species than Woolmer but what makes it more interesting this year for me is that 1-2 other local birders are doing the same patch which make things a little more interesting and competitive!!
