This morning, a cold but sunny one, I took Richard B round the patch.
Having assured him we would see a Brambling, I found that the finch flock was rather sparse and contained no Bramblings.
We saw plenty of Redwings and Fieldfares, one of the latter posing quite nicely.

The flash field contained a few Teal, five Wigeon, two Shovelers, a Green Sandpiper and a few Snipe. The only birds to come close to taking me by surprise were a flying Mute Swan (the first since the juvenile disappeared in the summer), and the pair of Stonechats, which I had thought had gone.
You just can't rely on birds to appear to order.
