At last more than one day of sunny weather and February has already brought 5 additions to the year list, now including Blackcap (TOA).... 86th for the year, 78th for February.
The Red Crested Pochard are still about, but seem to be mobile at times, the Chiffchaff was seen again today, but no further sign of Med Gull yet.
I am 6 off the pace, but Med Gull is the only tricky species amongst those missing for me, Coal Tit is still evading me, but expect to connect any day.
Update from earlier, Steve Day's picture today http://www.berksbirds.co.uk/show_photo.asp?photo_id=7756 proves we have 3 Red Crested Pochard (2m), which is the first time we have ever had more than 2 birds.
Late lunchtime I did an hour in the car park just sky watching, 6+ Red Kite, 2 Buzzard, 1 Sparrowhawk, a few Fieldfare, half a dozen Redwing was about it, but it certainly made a nice change to be out in the sunshine.
