Despite the enticement of multiple bird feeders, home-made fat ball mix and apple slices it was a poor showing for the Big Garden Birdwatch. A few Sparrows, Tits, Jay, Magpie and a Great Spotted Woodpecker but nothing really of note, even the regular Starlings and Blackbirds was absent.
Visited the Stour at Iford Bridge again yesterday and had a decent sighting of a Little Egret and a fleeting glimpse of a pair of Kingfishers, but no sign of the Otters.
There's been little evidence of the badgers recently, with the peanuts left untouched most mornings but today the peanuts were gone and a few fresh holes had been dug in the garden, so perhaps they came around. Also, whilst doing some maintenance on the pond a big fat frog made its presence known popping up from behind the reeds. Good to see there still some life in there, the jury is still out on the newts.
