This morning I took a walk along the old railway track near South Kilworth, it has a good area of rough and bird food/cover crops. At least 40 Tree Sparrows were feeding there, along with Chaffinch, Reed Bunting and a few Linnet. One of the Tree Sparrows perch up nicely on a Hawthorn bush.
Two Bullfinch were in the thick bushes along the track, along with a good number of Fieldfare and Redwing. A couple of Buzzard were flying and calling over head, while a Kestrel was hunting on the fields.
Late afternoon quite a few Redwing were feeding on the Church Yew tree, the sunshine was encouraging quite a bit of subdued sone too. At my feed station, still only two Tree Sparrows, but about 15 House Sparrow. A Nuthatch, Coal Tit and two Great-spotted Woodpeckers paid a visit too. A couple of Chaffinch, but no Yellowhammers, maybe the generally good weather of the autumn so far is allowing birds to find food all around, certainly the bushes still are loaded with berries and the fallen apples under the trees are not attracting the number of birds as I would expect.
