24th Dec - cloudy, breezy SSW, 9C

Willey; on the stubble field to the west there were at least 15 Yellowhammers early morning.

Mere Lane Lake; not having been here for awhile I decide to have a short visit, there was not much around. Two adult Mute Swans and a juvenile, a couple of Coot, 3 Mallard and a single Wigeon drake.  A Tit flock was heard in the lane side bushes, unexpectedly A Woodcock flew up out of the undergrowth and settled about a 100m further on.

Monks Kirby;  After lunch I had a look here to see if the finches were still around.  A small flock of Chaffinch were present which contained a male (photos below) and female Brambling.  Also a few Greenfinch, Yellowhammers and Goldfinches



Towards the sewage works there was at 150 Redwing and 30 Fieldfare feeding on the winter wheat field. further on ~150 Wood Pigeon and 10 Stock Doves were feeding
