24th December - Strong gusty SW, Low cloud with rain and heavy showers, Very brief sunny interlude early pm. 8C.

A pretty awful day weather-wise, the land is well soaked now.

With some things to do and the weather there was little chance for observing today.  However, I did manage a spell checking the feed station.  Some 15 House and two Tree Sparrows were in attendance, a Goldfinch and several Greenfinch and Chaffinch were busy feeding.  Plenty of Great and Blue Tits were there, whilst a party of Long-tailed Tits were in the hedgerow.  A single Coal Tit and Nuthatch visited and a cock Pheasant appeared under the feeders.

A Sparrowhawk flew past into the Yew tree carrying prey. both Pied and Grey Wagtail flew over to the neighbouring farm yard.  A small flock of Redwings were in the tree tops along the old railway track.
