| Pied Wagtail, Motacilla alba |
Saturday morning was spent at Arundel WWT where Cormorants
fished in front of the hide and Lapwings and Black-headed Gulls performed more
acrobatics. Then I visited The Burgh where I spotted a Kestrel hovering behind a
hedge. It swooped and I was able to watch it tuck into a small mammal which
looked like a vole. A flock of Pied Wagtails and a Goldfinch washed in the
puddles by the gate at the bottom of the first dip. A Corn Bunting tucked
itself into a tree at the second dip and a Short-eared Owl briefly flew and
perched on a fence post and a bird feeder. Sunset was a spectacle.
