24th March 2009

Cycled to Earlswood during the afternoon. Counted 28 Stock Dove and 1 Jay in the field around the Hungry Horse. At the lakes, 3 Herring Gulls, 4 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 5 Cormorants, 1 Kingfisher and just 4 Tufted Ducks were seen. I also saw 2 Greylag Geese in the usual field (3rd bird might've been hiding in pit), a calling Chiffchaff at Windmill Pool's southwest corner, and a Reed Bunting in the scrubland south of that pool.
