Hooded Crow
If I am brutally honest, I am quite enjoying my walk with Symphony around my patch at first light. I am not seeing a soul until I near the end, when a few local dog walkers are starting to venture out. Being an unsociable, grumpy old gi*, I am not missing the masses although not seeing anyone is quite eerie!
I am certainly enjoying seeing the local farmland birds and perhaps taking more notice of them at close quarters.
Today, I managed to find a year and patch tick in one of the potato fields, in the form of a Hooded Crow. Pity it was not on Hoddy Cows Lane, the name of which I believe derives from "Hooded Crows Lane"!
I cannot resist the Yellowhammers, perhaps because they brighten these dark times!
A not so "skulky" Wren!
Usually very nervous and flighty, I was pleased to manage an image of a Linnet!
There are good numbers of Roe Deer about at the moment, sometimes close but often not!
I have yet to see a spring migrant! I look up to the sky but alas just the expected birds. However, today I did spot an unusual object in the sky (and I don't mean the sun!).
I have been completing a four mile circuit, door to door, as a permitted form of exercise. When this crisis is over, I think I will continue as it is very enjoyable!
Whatever you do, please stay safe and let us hope our lockdown is soon over.
