Approximately 140 Corn Bunting in at the roost on Cholsey Marsh this evening along with c30 Meadow Pipit. 30 Starling thought about it but then flew off east.
A Sparrowhawk flew through as the Buntings were coming in and spooked them for a time and a Buzzard flying around the area not helping matters.
At least 2 Bullfinch, a Treecreeper and up to 5 Water Rail on the marsh and a single Common Snipe flew off the marsh.
Several flocks of Fieldfare and Redwing flew over, 200+ birds in total.
A pair of Great Crested Grebe on the river, a Grey Heron on the opposite bank and a couple of Cormorant flew upstream.
A Kingfisher also present.
