Dunstable Sewage Works

Had an hour to spare this afternoon so popped into the sewage works to see what was about. It was all rather dull and grey but the now long staying Black-necked Grebe was still on site on number 3 along with 2 Little Grebes, there were plenty of Teal and some very handsome Gadwall. Other species seen on site today, Pochard, Mallard, Coot, Moorehen, Water Rail, Heron, Little Egret, Canada Goose, Mute Swan, Shelduck, Cormorant, Black Headed Gull, Kingfisher, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Wren, Great and Blue Tit, Dunnock, Blackbird, Song Thrush and last but not least a lovely Stonechat.

Stockgrove Country Park 01-02-2015

I spent a very cold and blustery hour and a half at Stockgrove CP early this morning, no Mandarins on site this morning but a good showing of Nuthatch, Coal, Blue, Great Tits, Wren, Robin, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Goldcrest, Jay, Magpie, Green Woodpecker, Jackdaw, Crow, Mallard and Moorhen.

I sat and watched this Jay hiding in a tree observing an industrious Nuthatch cache food in a hole in this Silver Birch tree. After a while it jumped in when the Nuthatch's back was turned and scoffed the lot, they are an extremely clever bird far too clever for the lovely Nuthatch!!
