Patch News

With the weekend approaching I received some encouraging, though slightly gripping, news from Matt Willmott.

The highlight today was two male Crossbills in the rather incongruous setting of a willow tree by the pool. Although he said they were lingering, I doubt that the habitat available there will encourage them to remain.

My Saturday is loaded with non-birding stuff relating to my car etc etc, so I doubt I'll get time to have a look until Sunday.

The supporting cast wasn't too bad either; two Jack Snipe, 200 Linnets, and 1000 winter thrushes headed the line-up.

Its a bit more exciting than a fly-over Redpoll and some Redwings which is the best I have managed on my way in to work this week.
