At the feed station there was at least 7 Yellowhammers, 4+ Chaffinches, several Greenfinch, 2Tree Sparrows, Great, Blue and a single Coal Tit. A male Great-spotted Woodpecker fed on the nuts, with several Jackdaws making raids and spilling plenty of the food. Three Buzzards conducted display and courtship flights overhead and a Green Woodpecker called nearby, a male Bullfinch flew in to the top of the church Horsechestnet, called awhile, then flew off.
In the evening I made a brief visit to the local reservoir to see infamy waders were in, there was not. However, I did count 29 Goldeneye present still and a Cetti's Warbler sang a few times.
I returned via a favourite Little Owl tree stump and luckily it was perched right on the top, half dozing.
A Robin has been seen around the big hay/straw bales for a few days, these bales are currently being used, so I investigated and found it has a nest with 3 eggs. Fortunately, we are able to leave the bale with the nest undisturbed now we know, so hopefully there will be a successful outcome.
