A count of 14
Siskins in the BW sector included a feeding flock of 12 by the path running south from the high path between the Holly Lane car park and the Park Farm compound. A 50-strong flock of
Lesser Redpolls was skittish around Piddly Pond but sometimes settled on the silver birches there. A
Yellowhammer heard calling overhead was a good record for BW. A
Red Kite drifted west over the woods and the female
Stonechat was again on view in Holly Lane Meadow. Other BW sector sightings included a
Common Buzzard, eight
Treecreepers, 12
Nuthatches, eight
Redwings and 10
Bullfinches.
Legal & General had a
Common Gull and three
Redwings of note, while a
Common Buzzard was also seen at the farm.
