I've spent a bit of time on the patch over the last two days but there is little change and my patch year list remains stalled. A
Grey Wagtail overhead yesterday was pretty good value locally, though, and a
Cormorant today was of note. It's nice to hear two singing male
Yellowhammers taking up territory, while a little gathering of 12 was still in one of the stubble fields yesterday. Finches continue to move, with a
redpoll and two
Siskins in Banstead Woods on yesterday and active overhead movement of 16
Chaffinches and four
Linnets this morning. I struggled to locate any winter thrushes yesterday, with only singles of
Redwing and
Fieldfare, but had 40 and 50 respectively today.
