A quick update ,after a very quiet but wet and very windy walk an unexpected visitor made a flyover visit to the patch in the form of a Greater Black Backed Gull and yes it takes us to 85 species so far for the year .Aside from that there was very little to write about with just 3 Skylark and 5 Meadow Pipit s seen .
Winter Thrushes were represented today by 45 plus Redwing and 65 plus Fieldfare also tagging along were 100 plus Starlings.
Apart from a hunting Kestrel there was very little of interest with most of the resident birds keeping their heads down in the blasting winds.
