Had a 2hr walk around East and West Keal hill yesterday, and again this morning: 190113 Blackbird 60 Mistle Thrush 5 Fieldfare 3 Redwing 7 Song Thrush 4
Also Yellowhammer 22 Bullfinch 4 Tawny Owl 1 male calling persistently out in the open after being disturbed by Magpies and Crows
First Song Thrushes I've had since early December
200113
Far fewer birds around today, with the exception of 22 Redwings feeding in leaf litter on the Barley Cliff estate. Also amazing acrobatic display by male and female Sparrowhawks near West Keal church
In the garden, up to 20 Chaffinches, 2 Reed Buntings, Bullfinch M+F, and 2 GS Woodpeckers
