10th Nov Tuesday - early mist, the cloudy, dull and hazy, light E, 8C

Willey; morning

I noticed a few Redwings coming and going to the church Yew trees as usual, berries nearly all gone, then something in the Church yard made them fly out of the trees, I couldn't believe that about c50 flew out of the trees.  They are so well hidden in the Yew.

The Sparrowhawk flew past later, the Nuthatch was calling again.  A few Fieldfares and c30 Starling flying around.

Stanford Reservoir; afternoon

The four White-fronted Geese were with the Greylags again, initially in Keepers Bay, then on the adjacent field.  Also, in Keepers were four Red-crested Pochards (2 males) and a good number Pochard.

On the main water were plenty of Shoveler, c80, five Goosanders (all Redheads) and 12 Great Egrets plus Little Egrets.

A Bullfinch pair was spotted on the Leics side near the old feeder area.
