The cold weather here is continuing to keep the bird counts so low that I hadn't made a posting here.
Dec. 28th - 1.5 hrs 3 km
8 Spotted Dove - 3 Azure-winged Magpie - 3 Long-tailed Tit - 3 Light-vented Bulbul and 13 Tree Sparrow
Dec 29th was even lower with 1hr 3km
7 Spotted Dove and 1 Common Magpie
January 1st was better weather and I decided to make the 2km hike over to the irrigation canal as it has the best habitat. By the time the light started to fail I was ready to head home to get out of the cold. A few surprises were in order. I was not expecting to see the Olive-backed Pipit although in small numbers. One lone Hawfinch must have missed the memo about moving further south as I haven't been seeing them for awhile now. One Hoopoe especially surprised me as I had not seen any for a few weeks.
