At Dowrog Common -
Monday 11th dusk.
Sparrowhawk
2 kestrel
merlin
hooded crow
barn owl
2+ hen harriers, 1 male, 1 ringtail (There appeared to have been 4 but that could have been double counting the same birds)
Cettis and water rail both heard.
Tuesday 12th a.m. (dawn)
500 fieldfare
1+ male hen harrier (it / one of them appeared to be a bit mottled in places, looking rather like the 2nd autumn bird in the Collins Bird Guide (3rd ed.) (But had full black wing tips and not a pallid !)
1+ ringtail
Possibility that there may actually have been more than one of each.
Cettis and water rail heard.
Tuesday 12th (dusk)
50 golden plover (over)
16.05 hrs 1 ringtail harrier
16.55 hrs 1 ringtail harrier (possibly same bird)
I also had a wander around the airfield and Tretio Common looking for the pallid harrier but no joy. (and not much else)
