A horrible wet and very windy day today, although it was very mild, . The whole area looks as if it is going to be flooded again with all the rain and meltrd snow.
2 Lesser Redpoll were on the feeders again which is nice to see .On the patch itself the main thing was a large flock of 400 plus Fieldfare with 100 plus Starling and 50 plus Redwing . There was more Woodpigeons of late with 400 plus, including a large 300 plus flock flying northeast. A new species for the patch list was found with a flock of 7 Red Legged Partridge .Apart from that 1 Meadow Pipit, 2 Buzzard, female Kestrel, and a flock of Skylarks were heard going over .
The patch list now stands at 54
