14th December - cloudy start, brightening slowly, light shower late afternoon, 9C

A pair of Mistle Thrush were on the field telegraph wires to the west of the village, one was visiting the Church Yew tree, and another singing from its usual tree to the east.

Most of the Yew berries have gone now, so this morning a reasonable number of Redwing and Fieldfare were making the most of the Holly tree berries.  12+ Greenfinch were visiting the Yew tree and thick hedge area.

At the feed station 8+ Great Tits, a few Blue Tits and one Coal Tit were busy.  The Nutchatch and Pheasant and a few House Sparrows were present again.

Forty or so Redwings and Fieldfares flew from the old railway tree tops in a panic, the reason soon became obvious as a Sparrowhawk flew rapidly along the hedge side.
