8th January - light night frost, mostly sunny morning, cloudy afternoon, light SW, 8C

A mixed flock of Fieldfare (c60), Redwing and Starlings were feeding on a winter wheat field next to Montilo Lane.  Late afternoon, a single Meadow Pipit flew SW over the village, calling as it went.  There has been many fewer seen this autumn and winter on the fields presumably due to the mild weather so far.
