Sighting: A double figure flock of small finche, probably Siskin, but too far away to be sure. A female Sparrowhawk soared high up before moving off, also lots of soaring Red Kite action, probably sorting out pairings. Most Woodpigeons flying north as the last visit here. A Chiffchaff called for a while in the scrub just before the end of the session. A good sized flock of corvids was on the crest of the hill in front of woodland to the northwest, probable Rook, Carrion Crow and some Jackdaw on size but just a bit too far away.
