22nd October - sunny periods, light-breezy WSW, 13C

Willey; early a Jay was nosey in the top hedge before flying into the trees along the long disused railway.

During the morning a couple of Ravens were flying with the Rooks and Jackdaws over the Rookery at the Long Spinney site.  Three Fieldfares flew over from Hurls Furlong hedge, where a few Redwings were feeding.  A flock, c40, Starlings were raiding the Blackberries on a bush in the barn stack yard. 

A Green Woodpecker called near the feed station, where a Coal Tit visited for food. A Goldcrest flew from  the Churchyard Yew tree.  A few Redwings and a Fieldfare were taking berries from the Yew.

Stanford Reservoir; a look this afternoon.  A Coal Tit was at the feed station, not seen too often here.  Most notable a flock of Teal had come in, I counted 79, not had such a high count here for a quite awhile.  Otherwise, all the current usual birds were seen, still low numbers of Redwings and Fieldfares feeding on the berries though.

Cotesbach Landfill; a Little Grebe and two Green Sandpipers.  Still large numbers of Canada and Greylag Geese.  Teal still, so not translocations to Stanford Reservoir, and Shoveler
