Well, December has arrived on a mild note, and a first me me, a butterfly flew past at distance, probably a Small Tortoiseshell. Can't recall seeing one flying in December before, only ones hibernating.
Two Mistle Thrushes are showing increasing interest in the large Horse Chestnut tree, two years ago they successfully nested in it, as did a pair of Goldfinch. Mistle Thrushes can be very early breeders, so prospecting for nest sites is not unusual.
A Kestrel was seem near Harborough Magna during the afternoon. The Kestrel seems a little more abundant this past year than in the recent past in this part of the county.
