A Finch day

Foggy at first then sunshine, 9°, light ENE.

Turned out to be a Finch day today I had a flyover Brambling with some Chaffinch along the Bunk line and Alan had 2 Redpoll and 4-6 Siskin along the river.

Also good numbers of Goldfinch, several Linnet and Greenfinch and 2 Bullfinch.

Little else along the Bunk line other than 2 Goldcrest, c100 Redwing, c20 Fieldfare and a single Chiffchaff and a flock of c30 Greylag Geese over in the fog.

Alan also saw/heard a Cetti’s Warbler, Sparrowhawk, 5 Common Snipe, a Water Rail, a Grey Wagtail and a Stonechat (Cholsey Meadows).

Mammals: Roe Deer.

Dragonflies: a Common Darter (Green lane).
