A little less busy

Light cloud, 13°, moderate NE.

Both Tony W and myself out at Lollingdon today and Alan out along the Bunk line.

A Stonechat present on Lollingdon hill along one of the farm tracks and a small flock of c40 Fieldfare on the hill and a single Mistle Thrush.

At 11:40 a flock of approx. 200 Fieldfare passed overhead and flew towards Aston.

Only a handful of Redwing seen, 4 Chiffchaff, c50 Meadow Pipit, several Yellowhammer and a couple of Reed Bunting present and a slight increase in Song Thrush numbers.

A couple of Jay seen frequently over the last week flying off with acorns from the Oak trees out at Lollingdon.

Up to 40 Yellowhammer, several Reed Bunting and 2 Corn Bunting scattered around the Little Lollingdon area.

The Little Grebe still present on the new gravel workings and 25 Fieldfare and 30 ‘ish Redwing along the Bunk line and a Nuthatch Caps Lane area.

1 possibly 2 Common Snipe near Silly bridge. Per Michael Pocock.
