With the weather now warming up, decided to try Ivinghoe Beacon
to look for ring ouzels, wheatears and other spring migrants or maybe
the short-eared owl that has been seen around the area recently. Parked
in the car park at Pitstone Hill, walked to the beacon on to Gallows
Hill and back to the car. No short-eared owl or ring ouzels but did
find three wheatears along with a singing male corn bunting on the fence
line near the sheep pens at Gallows Hill.
Small numbers of meadow
pipits possibly passing through heading north.
Good numbers of
singing skylarks, (at times drowning out the song of other birds), were
present with birds nesting on the ground and moving on as I walk by.
Willow warblers, chiffchaffs and blackcaps all singing well.
Good to see
the Pasqueflower hanging on & well protected.
