Redwings on the football field - the whole pitch was covered like this (Quiz- which 2 world-class footballers have regularly played on this pitch? clue - one of them is me.)

Guernsey
The snow in the UK and France - (we even had a fall yesterday but it was gone by tea-time) - has meant an influx of winter birds into the island. It's mainly Redwings - there are thousands everywhere - but I also ticked off Fieldfare and Lapwing today. Best sighting though was a flock of 20 Wigeon that flew north as I was strolling up the lane opposite - only my 2nd ever record for the square. But not much else doing this week in these chilly times. (Quick question - is there only 1 species of Silverfish?)

Wow, stacks of Redwings. I only saw about five in an hour or two today.
ReplyDeleteI think there's only one silverfish in GB and I presume the same is true for your tropical climes too
Yes, Silverfish is unmistakeable within the British fauna.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's got to be Le Tiss?
ReplyDeleteFirst thoughts were of Le Tissier but as a life-long Saints fan that was predictable! By coincidence, I only Youtube'd some of his wonder goals yesterday. Now you're going to say it's Graeme Le Saux!?
ReplyDeleteYes, Le Tiss - this is the pitch of his boyhood club Vale Rec. (Le Saux is a crapaud!)
