Frosty, foggy morning, brighter later.
A strange day today.Almost every bird that I came across during the morning was trying to warn me off. Whether it was the garden blackbirds or the robins down the road everything gave a warning call as I approached. I guess that it must have been the fog that caused everything to freak out as I approached. It certainly was that kind of day, every time I saw birds they showed mr their rear ends. Crows, woodpigeons, jackdaws, starlings, collared doves, they all flew away as I approached. Even a songthrush flipped up from the grass verge over into the football field, where there were two mistle thrushes feeding out towards the centre circle.
When the weather cleared later in the day things seemed to settle down and the birds were more back to normal. A pair of coal tits flitted along the bottom hedge and a single hedge sparrow was singing from the hazel tree.
Towards dusk three waves of jackdaws were heading for their roost probably 200 in all. A greater spotted woodpecker flew from the oak trees opposite home towards the bigger oak wood along the road. A very quiet and strange day.
