Another day of Thrush vizmig today, not so many as yesterday but still good numbers of Fieldfare and Redwing.
Both Alan and I out along the Bunk line/Green lane today covering from 08:30 to 13:00.
Rough totals between us were 300 Fieldfare and 120 Redwing all moving west.
Alan skirted along a maize field where there were a number of Finches and Buntings present (c100) Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Linnet and Reed Bunting and some of the Thrushes were seen feeding along a distant hedgerow.
Quite a few Meadow Pipit (c100) around, 20+ Yellowhammer and 20+ Skylark noted.
3-4 Chiffchaff, including one in song, 2 Green Woodpecker and a female Sparrowhawk on the hunt.
Mammals: Red Fox and Brown Hare.
Dragonflies: a single Common Darter.
Tony R: “An unseasonal flower photographed in our meadow today, a Cowslip.
The birds included a group of Redwing flying past plus the single call of a Fieldfare.
Also I am hearing Finches in the Birch treetops which may well be Siskin.”
