There had been so many thrushes reported all over the South yesterday that I was determined to have a look locally first thing- the weather looked less than promising and was only predicted to get worse later. So by 7.30am I was at Blackdown, but unlike Friday where the wind was the problem I could hardly see a thing due to the low cloud and drizzle. Plenty of Redwings were calling along with Goldcrest, Siskin, Chiffchaff and Meadow Pipits. After hearing the call of a Brambling I eventually managed to see one through the murk in a sheltered valley along with a single Fieldfare. It then started to rain heavily, which it did for the rest of the day, so I headed home.
