It seems the birds have vanished with the sunshine, when I went out this afternoon it was really disappointing. A few species were seen in the Small Holding, mainly finch's and Tits, as well as a few REDWING and FIELDFARE, a bit of a surprise was seeing two pairs of MALLARD there. The Wet Woods, and the lake area were very quiet indeed.
A dozen Mallard were on the lake with 2 MOORHENS. A COAL TIT, a BULLFINCH and a GOLDCREST called from the surrounding scrub, a few HERRING and BLACK HEADED GULLS went over, but it was just one of those days today. I did see the first NUTHATCH of the month to come to my garden feeders last thing this afternoon, the 20 species to do so this month.

Was it hovering Warren? If so you could count it as a kestrel!
Not my favourite bird Warren, I'd rather have one of Sheila's Waxwings :)
Songbird, Ive told sheila i'm not visiting her sight all the time she posts waxwing pics!

Thanks Warren - nice roters!!! and a Nuthatch to boot! Well done.

Dave
On slow days I count the plane flyovers as "stiff-winged hawks"....not sure where to classify the 'copter though!

Maybe they sent the chopper over to check that no knackers were chopping down your Oak trees!
