We had two flocks of 60 Woodpigeons head east as we walked down the track and 400 Pink-footed Geese flew over heading east. We could hear huge numbers of 'Pink-feet' but couldn't see them.
Pink-footed Geese
Down at the feeding station were 24 Chaffinches, two Redwings, 49 Tree Sparrows, four Blackbirds, three Reed Buntings and a handful each of Blue Tit, Great Tit, Dunnock, Robin and Wren. Walking along the '97 hedge' there was no sign of last weeks monster finch flock and Corn Buntings and Yellowhammers were conspicuous by their absence.

Just as the rain came in we put up a Jack Snipe and then made our hasty retreat back to the car.

49 Tree Sparrows, a number not seen in these parts since I was a kid, in the seventies.
They're still hanging on up here Warren, although not as numerous as they were. Likewise Corn Bunting is hanging on, but not in the numbers it used to be.
