Best bird was a male MERLIN which was hunting over stubble fields on marsh. I picked it up twice once well off but the next time only a quarter of a mile away and scope view to. Seemed intent on small stuff and not interested in REDWING.
KINGFISHER: One flew along the edge of field and wood from the Oulton end. Not the best of views but I think I may have come across the old nest sight in a bank. So will keep an eye on this in the spring.
REDWING: About 40 birds fluttering in and out of trees into very wet stubble field. There was only one FIELDFARE with them which was a surprise.
PIED WAGTAIL: A small flock was feeding around a small pool of muddy water. Amongst them where adult and first winter birds about 15 in all.
LITTLE EGRET: Three birds being annoyed by CROWS. They flew of into centre of meadow where a digger was ditching a channel.
GRET TIT, BLUE TIT, L-T-TIT, WREN, CHAFFINCH, R-L-PARTRIDGE still in cubby of 11 birds. 4 KESTREL. 1 SONG THRUSH.
Barn Owl
