0915 - 1045 overcast....er....could be described as sort of warm....or...sort of cool...not chilly though...
Well...whatever it is....a quick visit walk round to check the number of Chiffchaffs on site.....6....a Kingfisher whistled by....2 Mandarin Duck flew over calling as usual. 2 Goldeneye made a re-appearance, a male and a female.
A solitary Fieldfare flew from a hedge. Good numbers of Bullfinch around the site, seemingly calling from everywhere. Reed Buntings were regular callers too along the south side of the pits and occasionally at other spots.
Just one Grey Wagtail today. 3 Little Egret on the site and out in the fields....so really hoping they will stay and breed, which would be pretty cool....whatever the weather!
I still need Reed Bunting for my year list Graham, they are very scarce birds here........done that year list yet :-)
