Sightings 28 Species: Some movement around the heath today, mainly Redwings flying about. The four Song Thrush flew over together south west quite high. Not much finch activity; mostly a few silent unidentified silhouettes . The Golden Plover flock flew east north east and then a portion of, probably the same flock, headed towards the Fire Plane Gravel. The activity level of the local Ravens is quite high at the moment; they have been illusive until recently. Just as we were preparing to leave two Marsh Tit flew out to the heath.
