21st Dec Winter Equinox - cloudy, misty and damp most of the day, 11C

Monks Kirby; checking here to see if the Finches had re-grouped in their recent area and numbers.  At first it all seemed very quite, then I started to find Finches, a good number of Chaffinch, ~25 Goldfinch, 4 Brambling, 6 Greenfinch and 3 Siskin were in one area of trees, on the far side of the stubble field ~25 Linnets too. In the same general area were ~75 Starlings and the same number of Redwing, a few Fieldfare, Yellowhammer, 2 Mistle Thrush.  So an area to keep an eye on over the coming days.
