.. and that means more snow, throughout the day on Sunday although, it really just topped up what had been around on Friday, so we didn't venture too far from the house all day just took a few more pictures, although at one point I did clean the window !.
There were
17 Blackbirds on the ground around the feeders early in the morning with
3 Fieldfare still and
2 Song Thrushes and a small flock of
8 Redwing flew over at dusk. A male
Brambling reappeared for an hour or so, although no sign of the Marsh Tit, the
Chaffinch flock was counted at 28 birds.
I had been saying only a few weeks ago that this part of West Sussex, right down to the coast had been void of Winter thrushes, but this cold snap has brought thousands in to the area with Fieldfares especially being reported everywhere in large numbers, particular on the coast.
