Woodoaks Wagtails and Maple Lodge

Well a trip to the farm with Paul Lewis was a nice change  , first up a pair of greenfinch and a
pied wagtail in  the farm yard with linnets and yellowhammers.

moving towards the dung heap we were soon viewing up to 4 Yellow wagtails amongst
linnets an rising skylarks.

A number of raptors obliged Kestrel,Sparrowhawk and Red Kite,returning back past the
dump we moved on to Maple Lodge now with Christine Bessant in tow.

Maple Lodge held a breeding Sparrowhawk,we could see the tail of the bird in the nest.

Wildfowl in good numbers produced breeding Pochard before we left for home.

Finally a Lesser Black Backed Gull took a juvenile Coot ,just a snack.
