Todays Yellow-browed Warbler the second for Greenham Common one also captured in Oct 2013
Sightings 32 Species: Much less movement than yesterday. The flock of Greylag Geese is interesting, they were quite a tight flock so perhaps not local. The Redwing flock is still on the heath. No winter finches today and still no Fieldfare.
