A casual end of year visit that finished early, so not worth making comparisons
Recaptures: (7) all recent except: Robin 1y 24d
Sightings 28 Species: Ian’s list: Golden Plover flock over for me the best birds, low numbers of the tit family seems to be becoming the norm, finch numbers also low for this site.
