The Sparrowhawk was siting on the bird feeder first thing. I think the other birds are getting wise to this and appear less frequent here now.
I decided to go on a twitch to see the Dusky Thrush that has been around for a week around an orchard in Beeley, near Chatsworth. Many birders have been during the week and today was no exception, when I arrived there must haev been about 100 others present. Apparently it was in a tree and cue flew off to the nearby pasture with Redwings. Searching through the feeding Redwing it was spotted, but moved behind the hedge, a couple more brief views then it flew off back to the orchard area. However, more waiting and searching failed to locate it again before I left. Brief views yes, but still disappointing as on other days it has showed really well.
Also seen in the orchard and pasture area were Blue and Great Tit, a single Coal Tit, Nuthatch and Great-spotted Woodpecker. Goldfinch, two Lesser Redpoll and a couple of Collared Dove.
