Still cold but light at 5pm this evening. Signs of things to come.
Ellough Airport: While driving through behind it a single REDWING, FIELDFARE and SONG THRUSH. Also a small flock of COMMON GULL feeding in a lower field.
North Cove: A purposeful visit to get MARSH TIT on the list for the year. Managed this with
several birds coming to a feeder. As were GREAT, BLUE, LONG TAILED, and COAL TIT. 7 BLACKBIRD on entry to reserve and a fly over COMMON BUZZARD. A pair of RINGED COMMON PHEASANT were eating the fallen nuts and a squirrel was enjoying the feast to. Scampering around a single DUNNOCK. A large flock of small stuff flew in high calling well. This was a serious mixed flock of birds containing mostly GOLDFINCH but a scattering of the following in with them. CHAFFINCH, SISKIN, LESSER REDPOLE, BLUE TIT as well. The flock was between 60+ to 80 birds.
