26th Jan - High cloud, a dry day

a few sunny spells mid day otherwise high cloud, light NW, 8C

Willey; mid morning a mixed flock of Fieldfare, Redwing and Starling flew over home east and settled in the tree tops before moving off south, c175, c50 and c40 respectively.
Two pairs of Bullfinch were feeding on Blackthorn buds in the church lane, while 4 Greenfinch sat in the bush top.  Long-tailed Tits and a Great-spotted Woodpecker visited the feed station.
A nice group of Snowdrops in flower under the lane hedge.

Bittesby fields; I had a walk over here to see if the finch flock was still present, it was. c80 Linnets, c40 Chaffinches we’re feeding on the bird food crop. With the Chaffinch was a single Brambling. On the next field 15 Yellowhammers we’re feeding.  A pair of Green Woodpeckers were busy feeding in the area on the track.
