Willey; a single Mistle Thrush has made one of the village Holly trees its own for the berries.  More Redwings are now visiting the Church Yew Trees for the berries there.

I checked my feed station included plenty of House, but no Tree Sparrows. Nuthatch, Coal Tit, Great-spotted Woodpecker, 2 Yellowhammer, 3 Chaffinch. a Goldfinch. A Song Thrush gave some song nearby and a couple of Raven flew over.

Cotesbach landfill; a look here at the Gulls this afternoon, Carl had a Caspian Gull in view when I arrived and another one was found later.

Other birds included a Red Kite, 8 Teal, 4 Wigeon, 3 Mute Swans, 21 Canada and 1 Grey Lag Goose. 3 Stock Dove over and about 80 Lapwings flew over but did not land.
