A thick fog enveloped Barming as I left for work this morning - may be good for bringing down some migrants? The song of a Chiffchaff carried through the stillness of the mist at the edge of Oaken Wood. The Little Owl was in his favourite spot and a Murder of Crows loitered, portensously.
The sun shone briefly mid-morning, and checking my strawberry plots I discovered Badger trails and pawprints all over the place.
A couple of Skylarks sang continously. Only 10-minutes at lunchtime to get out, so I decided to check a newly ploughed field opposite the East Malling Conference Centre - 10x Pied Wagtails (inc 2 females that briefly looked like alba) hopped over the recently turned clods, another case of spot the bird in the photo below! Another Skylark shuffled through the furrows.
there will be a Wheatear in that ploughed field this week Adam :-)
