Along with the usual mix of tits, finches and blackbirds, a leisurely dawdle around Westgate Woods, Wyberton on Saturday produced:-
Common Buzzard x 1 (this has become a regular sighting here) Goldcrest x 2 Lesser Redpoll x 2 (amidst a very mobile charm of 30+ Goldfinch) Redwing x Wren x 2 Robin x 6
My walk around Frampton Marsh today (Sunday) was much brisker due to a biting easterly wind cutting right across the heavily frozen reserve! Not much in abundance (only very small handfuls of Golden Plover (14), Curlew (2), Wigeon (3) and a single Lapwing) but still a few little treats around:-
Yellowhammer x 6 Reed Bunting x 5 Fieldfare x 40+ Skylark x 1 Goldeneye x 1f Kestrel x 2
There was also a flock of 34 Curlew feeding in a field on Wyberton Low Road at approximately 14:30 this afternoon.
