Thursday November 23

Sunny and cold with a fresh south-westerly wind.

This was not a visit that will live long in my memory. The year often draws to an end quietly, and today was certainly that.

Chaffinches
The Chaffinch and Linnet flocks remain, and two Bramblings put in a brief appearance. Stock Doves are currently outnumbering Woodpigeons, which is a bit strange.

The Flash field still contains six Wigeons and two Shovelers, but I only counted 21 Teal, one Snipe, and a Lapwing.


The Wigeon flock
Half way round I got a text from Chris Lane saying that there were two Hawfinches in trees by St Mary's Church in Studley. I'm glad someone was having a good day anyway.
