A
Grey
Heron
was
posing
on
the
Pulhamite
island
looking like a Japanese print.
After the overnight frost the birds were very hungry.
Three
Cormorants
were
in
the
top
of
a
bare
tree
on
the
main island.
About
a
dozen
Canada
Geese
flew
in
while
we
were
walking
around
the
lake.
Unusually
we
saw
none
last
week.
Maybe
they
are
foraging
elsewhere
and
coming
back to roost.
It
was
good
to
find
a
few
Siskins
in
the
triangular
wood
by the lake.
A
Song
Thrush
and
lots
of
Blackbirds
were
feeding
on
the yew berries.
The
House
Sparrows
were
not
in
their
usual
spot;
but
we
found
a
group
in
Grattons
Park
gathered
around
unripe blackberries.
The
juvenile
Mute
Swan
was
still
present
and
learning
how to compete for a share of the food.
A full list of birds seen is given in the
Bird Table
.
