14th Dec- Sunny spells, mod-blustery S, 10C

Ash Tree Farm, Bitteswell; morning

A walk around this new small reserve .  c70 Redwings and c10 Fieldfares.
A Red Kite over and a Sparrowhawk hunting the hedge.
A Green Woodpecker.
On the lake 12 Mallard, two Moorhens and a Little Grebe.


Bittesby Country Park; afternoon.

Mainly went to check for Stonechat, but the wind was too much, and if present they would have been in the vegetation bottom.

A few redwings and Fieldfares, a single Meadow Pipit broke cover.
Two Buzzards  over.  c50 Goldfinch in a flock

A Woodcock rose some 15m in front of me from the rough, later I spotted two in the 'vole' wood with the thermal camera, plus a Fox in another covert.
