Highlights at the farm this morning were an adult
Great Black-backed Gull and a/the
Red Kite overhead.
In the evening, two
Woodcocks flew over: one at Poultry Field and another by Piddly Pond. 66
Woodpigeons were obviously moving northeast and thrushes feeding in the fields included 300
Redwings and 80
Fieldfares. A
Mistle Thrush was heard in Ruffett Wood and three
Rooks foraged in Broadfield. 30
Skylarks and 200
Linnets were logged in the sector, as were two
Common Buzzards, two
Sparrowhawks, an adult ♂
Kestrel, three
Bullfinches and two adult
Common Gulls. Hither Field held five
Meadow Pipits and two
Bullfinches were in the Harholt Plantation.
We wish a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas to everybody.
