I have had 3 notable records from my flat over the last few days ....
On 28th May 2021 at 11:30 p.m., I heard a “barking” Reeves' Muntjac in the wooded area behind the houses. This is a mammal that I see fairly regularly around my St. Nicholas Church local patch site and occasionally hear from my flat, mainly late in the evening or early in the morning.
On 30th May 2022 at 6:55 p.m., I saw a male and female Mallard walking down the middle of the road together. I occasionally see Mallards flying past overhead and, whilst seeing them on the ground is a strange sight, it is not the first occurrence (see here).
On 31st May 2022 at 6:30 a.m., I was woken up by an extremely loud calling Green Woodpecker. Looking out of my window, I saw the bird on the small tree in the communal front garden area. It quickly flew down to the ground and proceeded to forage on the grass. This is a bird that I see fairly regularly around my St. Nicholas Church local patch site and often hear from my flat. In addition, I have previously seen exactly the same behaviour outside my flat on 2 occasions before (see here and here).
Unfortunately, I was unable to get any photos of the Mallards (they had moved out of site before I could get my camera) or the Green Woodpecker (the poor light and shooting through glass only led to very blurred images).
Slava Ukraini! …. Glory to Ukraine!
