On my walk today ( April 5th) I saw quite a few birds on and near the canal. The first thing I saw was a huge heron which sprang out of the canal and into a nearby field. Here is a video and a few photos.
We also saw a moorhen.
After that, we saw a pair of pheasants in a field from the canal. We got a better video than when I went searching for pheasants.
The next two birds are (yet again) 2 new species for the blog. After we came off the canal we saw a small bird of prey known as a kestrel. Here is the footage:
The final bird is another new one called a lapwing. It was quite far off in a field but there is no mistaking it for anything else - lapwings are distinct birds.
That is all for today's post. Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!

















Fabulous clear footage! Love the heron and pheasants but think the kestrel is my favourite spot on this post.
