8th November - Another grey cloudy, day with occasional rain, mod gust SW/S wind, 15C

A look around the local lake produced a couple of (Lesser) Redpoll and a single Siskin and nine  Goldfinch were feeding.  A Song Thrush was having a go a singing and a Wren gave two bursts of song.  Six, or more, Bullfinch were feeding in the bushes and a Long-tailed Tit flock moved through.
A flock of 50+ Fieldfare and some Redwings were feeding on berries on the neibouring hedge, others were flying around.  A single Buzzard flew over calling.
An interesting small 'lemon yellow' capped, white stalked toadstool was spotted, hopefully it will be around for a photo and to confirm its identity.  It looks like it is the, wonderfully named, 'Yellow Cow Pat Toadstool.

During mid-afternoon a flock of 50+ Fieldfare flew east over the village.  Eight Collared Dove, a Great-spotted Woodpecker and Grey Wagtail were also present.
