Overcast, 12º, light to fresh WSW, rain p.m.
Went out fairly early today and covered a fair bit around Cholsey then off to Farmoor where there is a Great Northern Diver. Also checked out a few other county water bodies. Fairly quiet in places probably due to the mild weather we are having.
A Chiffchaff seen at Ewelme cress beds.
55 species seen in Cholsey (see http://cholseywildlife.blogspot.com/p/2011-cholsey-bird-list-107.html ) and 67 species overall.
The best of the day was a Stonechat seen between Cholsey and Aston Tirrold, fairly sizable flocks of Redwing and Fieldfare around also 4 Song Thrush (3 in song), 8 Mistle Thrush and several Blackbirds.
Bullfinches heard calling in Jubilee Wood and 3 Corn Bunting singing near Lollingdon Hill.
8 Lapwing flew SW over Cholsey Marsh and a Kingfisher along the river bank.
7 Roe Deer and a Muntjac Deer also seen.
Hedgehog active in garden this evening.
