Getting tougher


The lockdown list stuck at 48 or 49 if I'm allowed to tick melanistic (P.c.tenebrosus) Pheasant. Working in the garden got Willow Tit and an overflying Linnet in song but yesterday was wall to wall Woodpigeon. Four that should be bankers are missing. Been scouring the field edges for Grey Partridge but if the weather gets warmer should get the males calling.
 The Banks Pond Canada haven't been moving
 nor any Mute Swans
Wouldn't normally get Woodpecker in the garden till after breeding and I really don't want to be stuck here that long but scanning the birch copse two fields away hasn't been beneficial. Still got the migrants to come and maybe a calling owl but one can only hope.
