Lodge Hill

Lodge Hill resides in a valley between the Chiltern hills at Lacy Green and Bledlow Ridge.  It is surrounded by farmland with access only by footpath, so is relatively undisturbed.  It holds an excellent mixture of woodland, scrub and grassland and does attract good numbers of migrating passerines. I decided to pay a visit to see what I could find.  Some of my better photos are below:

Stonechat - One of a probable five that were present on the SE slope.


Red Kite - Not surprisingly, a common species.
This one appears to be in the middle of it's moult.

Long-tailed Tit - One of a mixed flock that contained two Chiffchaffs.


I also saw Meadow Pipits, Yellowhammers, Skylarks, Bullfinch, Buzzard and heard Marsh Tit and Siskin, plus a mixture of Corvids and Gulls.
