Monday December 9

Despite taking the day off today, I chose to visit the patch for just an hour before dusk. The cunning plan being to check for Owls and maybe get a Woodcock for the year.

Unfortunately there was some hedge trimming taking place at the pool and I ended up just hanging about below Bannams Wood hoping for something to happen...which it didn't.

The highlight I suppose was five Redpolls which flew over calling, and a number of Fieldfares and Redwings which were gathering before going off to roost somewhere.

Fieldfare

About 175 corvids, mostly Jackdaws, were also gathering. No Owls though.
