Mild but cloudy day. Some sun later.
A fair day for birdlife with a good variety on show today.
Three Buzzards were circling over the house this morning making a lot of noise as they did so. On my walk around the village today Crow, Magpie, Jay and Jackdaws all put in an appearance. Great Tits, Long tailed and Blue Tits were all busy in the shrubs and small trees that I passed. Only one Fieldfare in the orchard with a couple of Blackbirds and a Chaffinch keeping it company. Woodpigeons and Collared Doves seem to be everywhere making a lot of noise as they went about their business.
A single Nuthatch was seen in a neighbouring garden. Robin, Wren and Hedgesparrow all put in an appearance in the garden together with Greenfinches and Siskins. A Song Thrush was singing well in the bottom hedge this morning competing well with the resident Blackbird. Highlight of the day was a Goldcrest flitting about the hedge at the end of the garden. A Pied Wagtail put in several visits to the house roof whilst I was gardening.
