4th November - very misty, light rain start, clearing to mid-day, then sunny intervals, mild 12C

The morning weather meant very little was happening, hopefully more later in the day.

Well, the afternoon turned out reasonably pleasant, although I only had time for a short look at the feed station area.  The Nuthatch, Coal Tit and both male and female Great-spotted Woodpeckers were busy feeding.  At least 10 Great Tits, c25 House Sparrow, two Blue Tits and two Chaffinches joined in, no wonder the female Sparrowhawk decided to fly by and disrupt proceeding for a short while.  A new visitor to the feed station was a hen Pheasant.

A few more Fieldfare are present now with small numbers of Redwings feeding and a single Mistle Thrush flying about.  A Pied and Grey Wagtails flew over to their preferred farm feeding areas.  Six Long-tailed Tits were working the thick hedge, constantly calling as they went on their way.
