Saturday was Wet, very cold and windy - I did a 6km Commando assault course at Hever Castle in Kent with Adie, a school friend and her Dad - It was freezing and very wet but ultimately good fun as I survived !
Sunday I was mainly recovering, the weather improved and I spent a fair amount of time outside. Apart from more continuing leaf fall, it was very similar to last weekend. A small handful of
Redwing and
Fieldfare flew over, with a couple of
Song Thrush and
2 Mistle Thrush. Both
Grey and
Pied Wagtails visited the pond. A
Siskin flock still numbered around 30 birds and kept to the Alders,
4 Lesser Redpoll were seen as were
2 Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Goldfinch and
Greenfinch. A
Marsh Tit appeared at the feeder which was the first time for several weeks and just one
Common Buzzard was visible. There are plenty of
Woodpigeons, but numbers in the low hundreds so far, rather than thousand of previous years but everything this year is a little later.
