My visit this morning was not especially productive in terms of the number of the abundance of birds and I spent much of my time taking landscape photos on a sunny autumn morning.
However, I did have some notable sightings.
I saw a single calling Ring-necked Parakeet flying over the church and cemetery. This is only my 4th record for the site after the first on 25th June 2020 involving 2 birds and 2 other records of single birds this year on 18th January 2023 and 30th September 2023.
After my first sighting of a Grey Wagtail for the site on my last visit on 17th October 2023, I saw another this morning in exactly the same location, namely flying high over the small pond in the northern section of the site.
I also saw a single Redwing flying over the northern section of the site and another 2 birds flying over the wooded area in the south of the site as I walked home. These are my first records of the autumn/winter.
Finally, I again saw a Sparrowhawk flying through the northern section of the site.
With regard to mammals, I saw a single Grey Squirrel in the wooded area at the end of the access track from Larkins Tyres and a further 2 animals in the wooded area in the south of the site as I walked home.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
