Three additions to the year list came in quick succession this morning with two overflying
Canada Geese followed by a
Red Kite, which drifted west, then four
Mallards. Eight
Meadow Pipits and a
Pied Wagtail were also noted.

Redwings remained the dominant winter thrush, with roving groups making it difficult to come up with a precise total but it was certainly around 300, while
Fieldfares numbered 50. Other sightings in the CF sector included a ♀
Sparrowhawk, two juvenile
Common Buzzards, an adult
Common Gull, a
Kestrel, five
Rooks, a
Bullfinch, 40
Linnets and four
Yellowhammers.
