2020 Wildlife Diary/Treeton Nature Diary

Tuesday 29 December

Treeton Dyke an Angler kindly let me photograph a Pike he had caught. A Kingfisher was very approachable trying to fish in an ice free patch at the side of the Dyke, where there was only ice around the edges. Only problem being the water is very murky, due to the high rainfall of late.

Wednesday 14 October

Despite spending most mornings out in the field, apart from the regular wildfowl, October has been very quiet so far, with birdlife picking ip a bit today.

Bolehill Flash been a few redwings about for the last week, today a Sparrowhawk put up over 20 from the scrub near the river.

Treeton Dyke Common Gull

Forgemasters Tip several Fieldfares.

Monday 28 September

Sunday 27 September

Treeton Dyke Some of the larger gulls are gathering at the southern end of the dyke mid-morning. Lesser Black-backed Gull 15, Herring Gull 12 and unusually for the time of year two Great Black-backed Gulls. Common Gull present again.

Hillyfields Pink-footed Goose a minimum of 83 flew over southeast at 0924 hrs.

Saturday 26 September

Treeton Dyke what I presume to be the same Common Gull has returned a little later this year, to rest on the buoys, which it has, for at least the last 5 years.

Thursday 3 September

Treeton Dyke 2 Teal and 1 Shoveler. Several Migrant Hawker dragonflies.

Catcliffe Flash a walk along a sunny river bank midday produced just 1 Migrant Hawker, 3 Speckled Wood and a few Large White and Green-veined White butterflies.

August 2020

The Common Hawker once an abundant dragonfly of the Treeton area and back in the early 1980s, one of only two species along with Brown Hawker, is increasingly uncommon. On three visits on sunny days in August, I could find none at Catcliffe Flash and just a few at Treeton Dyke. At Catcliffe Flash the favoured areas along the river are now shaded by trees and choked with reeds. A similar event has happened with the pond on Forgemasters Tip.

Friday 28 August

Treeton Dyke a Common Tern was quite amusing, attacking Black-headed Gulls on the buoys to gain a perch. It succeeded occasionally to knock a gull off, just for the gull to then knock the tern off! Red Crested Pochard still present.

Thursday 27 August

Catcliffe Flash first returning Wigeon, a male of the season. Its becoming increasingly obvious this year that as a passing migrant Sand Martins are the most common and regular Hirundine. Back in the 1980s Swallows far outnumbered the Sand Martins.

Wednesday 26 August

Treeton Dyke an Eclipse male Red-crested Pochard was at the northern end. Associating with Mallard and Gadwall, very wary.

Monday 12 August

Treeton Dyke a pair of Great Crested Grebes have spent late July and early August on a floating nest just off the raised causeway, unfortunately around the weekend of the 15/16 August the nest was abandoned and destroyed, days away from hatching. There was some heavy rain, but also a lot of boating was taking place! This pair had already failed once with a nearby nest in the reedbed. The four juveniles from the other Great Crested Grebe nest are doing well.

Friday 7 August

Catcliffe Flash the Great Crested Grebes have finally managed to hatch at least one young. Teal 2. Three Kingfishers on view at the same time, plus others may have been present.

Friday 3 July

Treeton Dyke 3 Common Terns flew in from and then left north mid-morning.

Monday 29 June

Catcliffe Flash only two Pochard ducklings on their own today. The Great Crested Grebes seem to have abandoned their forth nest and were displaying to each other. Another species struggling to breed here in recent years is Tufted Duck, males were at lease chasing two females around today.

Saturday 27 June

Catcliffe Flash three Pochard ducklings swam around the flash on their own throughout my visit. A female was present, but at no time went near the ducklings. Second female Gadwall with 5 young.

Thursday 25 June

Catcliffe Flash a pair of Teal, with the male newly in eclipse plumage.

Taking advantage of the fine weather to visit some of the Permian Limestone grasslands of East Rotherham. At Maltby Common Dark Green Fritillaries were very common along with a few Marbled Whites, but seemed to be local to the NW part of the Far Common. Also good numbers of Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Small Tortoiseshell. Today at Lindrick Common/Quarry and the Anston Stone Wood's Grasslands Dark Green Fritillaries and Marbled White were abundant.

Wednesday 1 April,

To get away from the crowds at Treeton Dyke, undertook an 11 mile plus walk out to the east as far as Bramton en le Morthern.

Treeton Wood female Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Ulley Brook Willow Tit.

Arable Fields to east of Spring Wood 4 Skylarks, the only ones, during the walk.

River Rother mid afternoon c 20 Sand Martins feeding high over the river, occasionally drifting over Treeton Dyke, Orgreave Lakes and Catcliffe Flash.

Thursday 26 March

Hillyfields, Treeton a pair of the increasingly rare Greenfinch, gave the impression, they were on territory.

Forgemasters Tip a rare appearance of a Skylark here. Once a common breeding bird here, in the distant past, these days just odd birds in spring. Two Grey Partrige were my first here, for some time. The first evidence today, that the kids are off school in dry weather, was a smouldering grass fire.

Orgreave Lakes 5 Whooper Swans arrived from the north around 0820 hrs, landed briefly, then circled twice and flew off south.

Catcliffe Flash 2 male Shovelers.

Wednesday 25 March

Several Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell, plus a couple of Coma butterflies, were out in the warm sunshine.

10+ Sand Martins and 3 more Whooper Swans, a pair with an immature at Orgreave Lakes.

Friday 20 March

Treeton Dyke a pair of Coots have 1 young, amazing when you consider that the Dyke's water level has risen and failed over a metre in recent weeks!

Tuesday 17 March

Forgemasters Tip at least 3 Chiffchaffs, none singing. Treeton Dyke (SE) Chiffchaff singing. Treeton Tip at least six Buzzards soaring late morning. Sewerage still poring into Bolehill Flash!

Sunday 15 March

Flatts Lane a Mistle Thrush was carrying nesting material, uncommon about these days. On the other hand, Song Thrushes are still fairly common. My first Greenfinch of the year was near Treeton Cricket pitch! A sad sight at Bolehill Flash was a burst underground pipe pouring copious amounts of raw sewerage and sanitary products into the marsh and onto the River Rother. I contacted Yorkshire Water and they had staff there, by early afternoon. This happens most years, but this is the worse I have ever seen. The local theory is that the old pipes that serve the village, can't cope with all the extra houses that have been built. With a new estate about to be built, who knows what will happen in the future?

Monday 9 March Wildfowl Counts

Orgreave Lake very little of interest apart from Gadwall 26, Pochard 11, Goldeneye 7, Coot 16, Great Crested Grebe 7, Black-headed Gull 257.

Treeton Dyke Mute Swan 4, Tufted Duck 40, Coot 12, Great Crested Grebe 3.

Sunday 8 March

Catcliffe Flash a pair of Great Crested Grebes in full display, its many years since this species, last bred in spring. A common occurrence in early spring is the male Mute Swan chases off last years cygnets and any invading Cananda Geese. Last year's immature swan, now stays out of the way, of his father. When a pair of Canada geese landed, the immature swan, on its own, took on the Canada Geese aggressively, before his father arrived and sent them up into the air. This is the first time I have noted an immature Mute Swan behave in this way.

First week of March

Intensive Willow Tit survey work, every day. Early results add to last years results, in that Willow Tits seem to be extinct along the Rother between Canklow and Woodhouse Mill. The good news is they are being found away from the floor of the Rother Valley in Morthern, Ulley and Whiston Brooks.

Monday 2 March

Treeton Dyke NW finally my first local Goldcrest of the winter.

Friday 21 February

Catcliffe Flash despite being totally under water 10 days previous, Rabbits have already returned to the riverside of the Flash. Of note in 2012 Sorby NHS did some mammal trapping weeks after flooding and had a very successful day. Any mammals must move to higher ground next to the "Roadhog" scrapyard, cross the river to the Orgreave site or Treeton Lane to Biffa Tip!

Monday 17 February

Wildfowl Counts highlights

Orgreave Lakes compared to other sites water levels not too high, but wildfowl numbers very low.

Teal 1, Pochard 34, Tufted Duck 11, Goldeneye 4, Goosander 3, Coot 47, Oystercatcher 2.

Treeton Dyke high water levels meant the Dyke could only be viewed from the tip side

Mute Swan 4, Mallard 2, Tufted Duck 32, Coot 54, Great Crested Grebe 4.

Catcliffe Flash slightly lower water levels than Sunday, but nearly level with the lay-bye.

Mute Swan 3, Pochard 7, Tufted Duck 3, Coot 2, Grey Heron 1, Black-headed Gull 23 and little else.

Sunday 16 February

Treeton Dyke three Little Grebes were unusual here, at this time of year, presumably displaced by rising waters elsewhere. Water rapidly entering the Dyke for the Rother.. Catcliffe Flash flooded for at least the third time this winter.

Friday 14 February

Bolehill Flash around 40 Redwings feeding on the pasture. Catcliffe Flash a Blue Tit was observed removing material from within a crack in a willow tree. Presumably excavating a nest, this went on for a while, until a Great Tit came along and the Blue Tit departed.

Friday 31 January

Treeton Dyke two pairs of Great Crested Grebe were in full display, very close to each other. A large flock of Jackdaws (c50) over the woods, with other corvids, late afternoon may be roosting! Kingfishers continue to be very visible.

Thursday 30 January

Treeton Dyke several Lesser Redpols feeding in alders NW end (My first of this winter locally). While watching the Redpols a small flock of corvids flew over west, one gave out a deep croak, making it a Raven. I then managed to get a quick view of 2 Ravens having a tussle, there could have been more!

Thursday 23 January

Treeton Dyke Water Rail calling SE corner. Little Egret was peached on it's other leg today, so I now have all details to find outs it origin.

Tuesday 21 January

Treeton Dyke Little Egret present again. Also for the first time a black and white Muscuvy Duck type, not sure if it can fly, or it has been dumped. Gone a week later.

Saturday 18 January

Treeton Dyke My first winter Little Egret here, perched in a tree on the tip side.

Wednesday 15 January

Eastern Moors to the south of Sheffield.

A few Brambling at Shilito Wood, then a four hour plus walk found little other than a handful of Stonechat sightings and many Red Deer. Event of the day was putting my bins, on what at first looked like a strange sheep, with its head sticking out of the bracken. Eventually two white deer got up and walked away. From the presence of tails Roe Deer were eliminated. That left Red and Fallow. After some research, it turns out a local farmer has a herd of white Fallow Deer, living in some pretty wild habitat.

Tuesday 14 January

Treeton area wildfowl counts

Numbers still generally lower than historically.

Wednesday 1 January 2020

Another attempt to compile a New Year’s Day bird list, around the village of Treeton. No great expectations, given the lack of winter birds recently. Dull at first, then sunny, finishing overcast and cool. Just for a change found most of the common birds, which have been around the village of late, plus a few bonus species. Nuthatch which are never easy to find locally and Orgreave delivered the goods, with Whooper Swan, Shelduck and Short-eared Owl. This makes a healthy total of 58 species, a big improvement on 48 species in 2019.
