Wednesday 5th November 2025.
A grey overcast start to the day with heavy cloud, but very mild with temperatures around 15 degrees centigrade and a light southerly wind. It was back to Pembroke Road, Old Portsmouth this morning and there were a few birds of note to add to my day list here. The Boat-tailed Grackle is still at Calshot Spit by the boatyard and will probably be still there for the rest of the week if the visiting birds are still feeding it! I have not been putting my Moth Box on of late due to the fact it is getting rather late, but I have read on the Hants Moths Facebook page that some guys are still getting a variety of moths; so I just might have a try tonight.
Pembroke Road, Old Portsmouth:
I clocked up 15 species here this morning on my first shift in Pembroke Road where the main sightings were a flock of 20 Siskins flying low east over the Holm Oaks and a single bird about 10 minutes later flying into a nearby garden. At least two Jays were flying back and forth to the Holm Oaks or further along down the road.
All the usual species were around and Governor’s Green held at least a dozen Herring Gulls searching for food on the wet grass.
In Hampshire, a Scaup was found this morning between Long and the Binness Islands within Langstone Harbour. Yesterday, the Great Grey Shrike was still present around the Wood Fidley area of the New Forest and over at Winchester College Water Meadows, at least 5 Brambling and a Jack Snipe were seen.
