Today was a damp, dull, grey old day, although it wasn't cold the chill got to your bones. It seems most of the birds weren't too impressed with it either as very little was seen this afternoon. Migrant alley was playing host to around 150 ROOKS and JACKDAWS with a scattering of some 100 FIELDFARE and a smaller number of REDWING. At the lake area, yesterdays swans had moved on, there's nothing for them to munch on here, (some twat fishing there didn't help). There was a GREY HERON, and a CORMORANT came in briefly whilst I was there. The only other bird of note was a flock of 5-6 SISKIN. I got back at 3:50 and saw a couple of COAL TITS feeding on the fat in the garden, always a nice bird to see.
