Sightings: Much less Redwing activity today with just a few small groups flying about. Three Swallows flew south at around 10:00hrs and earlier five Lesser Redpoll flew over calling. No sign of any Stonechat. IW/JB walked the central area yesterday and numbers were low compared to recent visits. Many (most) tend to wander away from the common at this time of year which coincides with increased sighting on the downs etc, and probably some are from Greenham Common.
