I went out with the intention of seeing a Hawfinch but they are so elusive so no chance. Met up with several guys all of the same mind. Although the weather started cold with a frost it brightened up which you would have thought would have taken raptors up but this did not seem to be the case. Mind you I did pick up on 2 COMMON BUZZARD.
There was a pair of NUTHATCH calling and MARSH TIT,BLUE and GREAT. MISTLE THRUSH and SONG THRUSH.
MUTFORD and HAULVER: As I was passing through I had info that several GREY PARTRIDGES had been seen in the area. The light wasn't good but managed to pick up on them.
