Down to the Lighthouse field where Jackdaws were flying, tumbling and turning as the group moved, a constant cackling came from them as they flew.
In amongst the short turf the slimy flat tops of the Field Blewitt fungus, these varying in size from jam jar size to plate!
Above the fields a Kestrel glided, the long tail obvious as it passed by, this bird then stopped in mid-air and hovered for a few moments – such an amazing action to watch.
As I continued my patrol, on the ground a scattering of Daisies in bloom, small white petals around the gold centre, a couple of other flowers also spotted included a Wild Carrot, with its frills under the umbel flower.
Between the large heart-shaped leaves of Winter Heliotrope were a number of flowering spikes, a slightly purplish tinge to these with a almondy smell wafting from them.
Looking across to the Isle of Wight, which for once recently was visible below the cloud, skimming low across was a Gannet, brilliant white wings, tipped in black as it passed, the morning shaft of sunlight glancing off the wings, helping it stand out.
The call of a Bullfinch alerted me to the presence of these bright pink chested birds, looking up, I watched these fly over and then land on the Gorse. This spiky plant has quite a few yellow flowers to be seen on them.
In the Blackthorn a Chaffinch was perched alongside a Blackbird, both of which were calling, while on the bare earth patch below a Robin chatted.
