30th Oct - grass frost last night, High cloud, mostly sunny, light Westerly, 11C.

Bittesby; I had a walk over Bittesby farms this afternoon.  At first there was little around, even the old railway and wooded areas were quiet.  A Golden Plover was heard overhead and a few Skylark were on the large oil seed rape field.

Over the far side in the top of two Ash trees about 100 Fieldfare and a few Redwings and a single Starling were sitting, sometimes flying down to feed.  I then noticed that there were also smaller birds in the trees and hedgerow, scanning through I could see ~10 Chaffinch, a single Linnet and ~20 Yellowhammers, looking carefully through them proved worthwhile as a male Brambling was showing well.  A Green Woodpecker was heard nearby.
