I had another walk around the Blue course to the reservoir today. The water has subsided since the floods of last weekend, but the course is still pretty soggy. There was no sign of the large Siskin flock today, although I was pleasantly surprised to come across a flock of 16 Meadow Pipits on the 10th fairway. Meadow Pipits are quite common in open country, but I haven't seen them on the golf course very often.

Brown Hares are much more evident on the Blue course than of late, with a pair chasing each other around the 1st and 2nd. I came across a Sparrowhawk hunting over the 7th fairway today and then a pair soaring on the thermals along with a number of Red Kites above the 1st on the Blue.

In the woods between the 16th and 17th there were a couple of Green Woodpeckers, Goldcrests and some Coal Tits feeding on the pine cones.
