Uneventful 1000

Cloudy, 10°, some light rain, light S breeze.

A rather uneventful 1000^th post.

A few raptors in the air today with 6 Buzzard and 11 Red Kite soaring high over Lollingdon hill and a Sparrowhawk flew over.

The only winter thrushes seen today were 3 Redwing and a single Fieldfare that flew over the garden.

Quite a few Greenfinch noted with 20+ near the Bullshole and several Yellowhammer further out.

A single Corn Bunting singing on the hill, 2 Lapwing still present in the area and 200+ Black-headed Gull following a plough in a field to the south of the hill.

Both Blackcap still present in the garden and a Pheasant visited again and a Goldcrest singing in the meadow.
