I met up with Ed at his Thorncombe Street patch this morning, finding a showy male
Ring Ouzel at Tilsey Farm and enjoying a steady flow of
Fieldfares and
Redwings overhead. A couple of
Mistle Thrushes and
Meadow Pipits, a
Red Kite, two
Ravens and singles of
Yellowhammer,
Bullfinch and
Reed Bunting were among the other notables logged during the visit. Taking in Bramley Mill Pond, another part of the Thorncombe Street recording area, we added two
Mandarins, two
Little Grebes, five
Shovelers and a
Gadwall. Back home in West Worthing, a late afternoon fly-over by three
Pied Wagtails was notable for the garden.
