Date: 8th November 2025
Time: from 9:40 a.m.
Weather: dry, sunny, light wind, 12°C to 14°C
I had a brief visit to the northern section of the site this morning but still managed some notable sightings:
The highlights with regard to birds during my visit were as follows:
Common Buzzard: 1 seen briefly being pursued by a Herring Gull in the northern section of the site and another seen later soaring very distantly beyond the site boundary to the north
Skylark: 1 heard calling in flight but unseen in the northern section of the site
Chaffinch: 2 seen in the northern section of the site
Starling: at least 30 seen in the northern section of the site
Great Spotted Woodpecker: 2 seen together at the top of a tree in the northern section of the site
With regard to mammals, I briefly saw a Red Fox which obviously saw me before I saw it and it quickly bolted into cover. However, presumably the same animal emerged a short while later which enabled me to get some photos. I also heard a Reeves’ Muntjac “barking” from the wooded area in the far corner of the northern section of the site.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
