2nd Dec - cloudy dull am, light drizzle and mist pm, 6C, light W

Monks Kirby; this morning I visited the area near Newnham Paddox to see what was on the large stubble field. About 80 Chaffinch, 5 Linnet, 15 Goldfinch, ~30 Fieldfare, a few Redwing and a Mistle Thrush.  A couple of Greenfinch on the hedge, from where a Green Woodpecker flew from.  Two Raven settled in a nearby Tree and spent some time cleaning their bills on the boughs before flying off.

Cotesbach Landfill; the weather was pretty grim in the afternoon but I visited this site in the hope of finding an interesting Gull.  A good number usual Gulls were very busy feeding on the rubbish and Carl had already read a number of colour rings during his morning session here.  Still no ‘white-winged’ Gulls but Carl did point out a 3w Caspian Gull that was seen well.
