The morning started with 16 dejected Swallows sitting on the wires, between the showers they were able to venture further afield and were joined by five House Martins around mid-day. Early on 15 Canada Geese flew over, low, westward, probably heading for the lake at Newnham Paddox.
A Kestrel was calling this morning to the west of the village, then this evening one was hovering over the pikel paddock just east behind the village.
Four Mistle Thrushes were busy feeding on holly berries behind watling farm. Mistle Thrushes are well known for defending their favourite foods trees from other thrushes, which include the Redwing and Fieldfare which will be arriving here for winter very soon now.
A male and female Blackcap and single Chiffchaff were in the Blackthorn again. A Green Woodpecker spent most of the day around the village area, and a Great Spotted Woodpecker was seen on a number of occasions.
