Busy today helping with the follow-up cattle TB test, thankfully all past.
This morning small numbers of Redwing, Fieldfare and Starlings were flying around the fields to the east of the village.
After lunch I filled up my feed station, then waited at a distance to see what happened along. Very soon at least 6 Great, two Blue and two Coal Tits were feeding, followed by several House Sparrows, three Greenfinch and two Chaffinch. Two hen Pheasant turned up and a male Great-spotted Woodpecker flew in. Two Magpies were generally messing about before several Jackdaws flew in and took over the ground spillage.
Two Mistle Thrush were in the area, several Redwing were feeding on the Yew berries and at least six Blackbirds were present. Overhead a Carrion Crow persistently hassled a Buzzard, seeing it off, a second Buzzard came along a little later and was left alone by the local crows.
