All About Ashley

Hello Everyone !
What was Tirley Twittering is now All about Ashley. Why ? I hear you ask ,well my life has taken somewhat of  right turn and as a result I am living in a small hamlet in the southern Cotswolds. The area is very close to Cotswold airport and the terrain is very much different from the Tirley area. I am now much higher up with Cotswold stone walls ,there are plenty of wooded copses ,weedy fields , and even a few damp areas .
So I have walked the area and have got the vestiges of a new patch. The birds are very much different and with the habitat there would appear to be plenty of scope for what I believe to be a under watched area.
So I will start with the birds seen so far  on the patch ,after 4 walks, I think you will agree its got lot to offer and I will try to keep you up to date on the seasonable comings and goings.
So here is the check list so far,  
Woodpigeon,
Linnet,
Fieldfare,
Chaffinch,
House Sparrow,

Collared Dove,
Yellowhammer,
Corn Bunting,

  1. Well that's not a bad start in such a short time especially as you must have a lot of private stuff to sort out as well. All the best and keep us all up to date. regards Les
