Pittswood Birds

A thick fog enveloped my patch this morning, so the walk to work was of little value. Resident songsters did attempt to brighten the gloom a little, SONGTHRUSH, ROBIN, CHAFFINCH, MISTLE THRUSH and DUNNOCK all joined in. On the walk back home it was quiet, very quiet! The only thing of note were the winter thrushes at migrant alley, still around a hundred strong, mostly FIELDFARE but about a third were REDWING.
An hours stroll after my tea and sandwich confirmed that there was very little to see, the odd ''tic'' from a robin, caw from a CARRION CROW or chatter from a MAGPIE. Just 2 MALLARDS and a MOORHEN were at the lake area.
There has been some talk of a possible influx of Stonechat down this end of the country, following some sightings in unusual places, i'll have to keep an eye on those fence posts.
