A bit of a catch-up from the last few days, with highlights including 12 Woodcock locally on 10th, nine of which were along the old railway line behind our house, 4 Roe Deer locally the same day and an impressive 250+ Fieldfares, with smaller number of Redwings, in the Southrepps area on 12th. Less impressive, but interesting were the six Egyptian Geese on one local field which is a lot more than I,ve seen locally before. Presumably they've been forced out of their normal haunts by the cold and snow?
Woodcock seem to be just about everywhere currently and one flew over the car from a garden in Cromer when we were passing yesterday.
I ordered a bat detector today, not that I'm expecting too many species locally but using them to i/d local grasshoppers sounds easier than crawling through the grass, at least for general surveys. We'll see, if there are any grasshoppers left after this winter!
