A flock of 45
redpolls in the birches by the northern entrance to the Harholt Plantation was the highlight of the day. Hopefully the birds will stick around for a while so that they can be properly scrutinised and perhaps even grow in number. Banstead Woods also held a
Fieldfare, 18
Redwings, eight
Bullfinches, a juvenile ♂
Sparrowhawk and a typical selection of other common species. Seven
Meadow Pipits were in Hither Field and 60
Fieldfares were in Green Belt Field.
