Blue Tit                     ringed: 22/10/2021

Sightings: There was a movement of Woodpigeons (flocks up to around 60) going south until about 09:30hrs when it stopped. The ducks were presumably disturbed from the pond over the back of Sandleford Heath in Sandleford Priory grounds. Otherwise of note, a lone Herring Gull, just a few Redwings flying about, and more Blackbirds than usual out on the heath.
