Woodoaks Farm

After an enjoyable evening out I awoke early feeling a little groggy so decided to visit the farm to clear my head. What a beautiful morning it was with the rising sun warming the air and a blanket of mist briefly covering the pasture before burning away. On the fields adjacent the old orchard hundreds of geese fed amongst the stubble with 3 species noted. At the old orchard a single Little Owl was flushed and on passing Ladywalk Wood I noted a Common Buzzard being mobbed by a noisy Ring-necked Parakeet.  
A full list of species encountered as follows:-
Greylag Goose (74), Domestic Greylag Goose (2), Hybrid Canada/Greylag Goose (2), Canada Goose (200+), Egyptian Goose (16), Mallard (15), Common Buzzard (1), Feral Rock Dove (1), Woodpigeon (7), Collared Dove (2), Ring-necked Parakeet (9), Little Owl (1), Green Woodpecker (1), Great-spotted Woodpecker (1), Dunnock, European Robin, Blackcap (1), Chiffchaff (3), Goldcrest (1), Long-tailed Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Common Magpie (2), Western Jackdaw (26), Carrion Crow (2), House Sparrow (3), Common Chaffinch, European Goldfinch (1).
