January Meeting

The January meeting was held at Testwood Lakes. Six watchers took part, and we saw 37 different species, including a very unusual bird. I think it has escaped either from Paultons park or the Broadlands Estate. On studying the books I think it might be a Vietnamese Edwards Pheasant .
We also saw a female Siskin, several Gadwell, Kingfisher, Lapwing, Shovler, Potchard.
the next Meeting is on
25th February 2011 at Blashford Lakes 10 am.
Meet at car park before Centre

31st December Lower Testwood Lakes

Siskin

Eight of us enjoyed a walk around the Lower Test Reserve. We managed to spy 41 species. The high lights being a number of obliging Stonechats, several Little Grebe, and a flock of Siskin. There was also the wonderful sight of a Swan in flight.
No Waxwings seen but one member had a photo of waxwings in her garden, nevertheless we managed to see a flock in our garden this morning!!!
The next meeting is at Testwood Lakes on Friday 28th January at 10 am.
