Sightings 36 Species: A couple of twenty something flocks of Fieldfare over west only showed a mild fleeting interest in their calls as did the Redwings. The Sparrowhawk was skulking along the tree margin of the wood. Missed a few finch types flying east as they were black blobs against the light. Some that we did manage to get some colour on proved to be Meadow Pipits, Chaffinches or Linnets.
