RINGED PLOVER at Pitstone

SUNDAY 13 FEBRUARY

The wind veered to the SE today but temperatures still held up. Although the rain held off until late morning, it then moved in and continued into darkness, somewhat hampering viewing.

The milder weather experienced over the weekend certainly spurned on some of the earlier migrants, with a marked arrival of OYSTERCATCHERS in our region, some more RINGED PLOVERS, COMMON SHELDUCKS, many FIELDFARES and numerous gulls reorienting northwards........

PITSTONE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE (HERTS)

A single RINGED PLOVER was back on the scrapes and showing well.

FRITHSDEN BEECHES (HERTS)

Yet another complete blank drawn on the redpoll flock but 2 Skylarks feeding on the Common, a Green Woodpecker and a male Song Thrush in full song.

HATFIELD (HERTS)

At Hatfield's Tesco's adjacent to the A1, 168 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were once more in the car park.
