25th Oct - misty at first, high cloud, very light breeze/still, 11C

First thing, to the west of the village, about 100 each of Redwing and Fieldfare were resting in tree tops before continuing their journey westward.

In the hedge and trees there were several Yellowhammers and Tree Sparrows, probably feeding on the cultivated field.  A Mistle Thrush flew from the electric wires over the Long Spinney towards Newman Paddox.

At 1015h a Raven flew south over the village calling.

About 1230h a small flock, ~10, of Starlings were flying and gliding catching insects.  This just shows how the recent moderate weather is still allowing many insects to be out and about.
