Another Crealy Adventure

Crealy great adventure park, Devon
Our weekly visit to Crealy to get the kids to burn off some energy. Whilst they were playing, I managed to get away for a walk around the pond. I always pray that it will produce an unusual Gull or Wildfowl species. No such luck today but couldn't resist a few iPhone pictures of some of the residents.

Mute Swan

Canada Goose

Western Jackdaw

Red-legged Partridge

Hayes Barton Farm, Yettington, Devon
A dawn visit to the pig farm near Yettington produced 6 Red-legged Partridge in the field directly behind the farm house. It was good to see healthy numbers of House Sparrow around the farm buildings, I would guess c40. Numerous Corvids with a mix of Carrion Crow, Rook and Western Jackdaw. A few Common Pheasant and a calling European Green Woodpecker.
