A
Grey Wagtail heard overhead this morning was the first of the year.
Pied Wagtail has been very scarce lately so it was great to see four feeding at Legal & General. Four
Mallards flew over the farm. Three
Lesser Redpolls were along Slangs and two
Stonechats (♂ and ♀) were around Owl Meadow while four
Mistle Thrushes were seen towards the northwest end of the farm. A flock of 140
Linnets was buzzing around Doric Field. Other sightings in the CF sector included a
Collared Dove singing in Holly Wood, a
Common Buzzard, a
Common Gull, two
Kestrels, two
Rooks, four
Nuthatches, two
Treecreepers, 200
Fieldfares, 350
Redwings, seven
Skylarks, a
Bullfinch, a
Greenfinch and eight
Yellowhammers. A
Sparrowhawk was over BW.
