A routine mild and sunny winter day at the farm, with the most unusual sightings being just a fly-over
Lesser Black-backed Gull and two
Mallards. Seeing the winter thrushes feeding in the fields was a continued pleasure, with at least 200
Redwings and 70
Fieldfares counted. On the east side of Horse Pasture,
one of the
Little Owls made a brief appearance. A
Rook, nine
Yellowhammers, 33
Skylarks, two
Sparrowhawks, a
Kestrel, four
Bullfinches, four
Greenfinches, 60
Linnets, 12
Song Thrushes and a
Pied Wagtail were among the other birds logged in the sector. A first-winter
Common Gull was a reminder that we have seen very few of this age of the species so far this season.
