Ornithology and wildlife around East Lancashire, Pendle hill and the Forest of Bowland, by Neil Mitchell

Friday 19 October 2007

Little owl present for a forth day, so I'll start making a nest/roost box for him.

Delivering just outside Preston today, so I stopped at Newton marsh floodpool for a look.
3 blackwits, 1 dabchick, plenty of coot and moorhen. Mallard, teal, wigeon and a pair of gadwall representing the ducks.
However, I've just read Colin Bushells birding blog, he'd visited this spot the previous day and reported corn bunting perched on the overhead wires. So next Friday , if I'm delivering in that area, I'll take the scope for a bit more range.
