Large flocks of Linnets, 600-800 ( possibly many more) feeding in stubble of recently harvested oil seed rape just off the Porthcawl Road, Tythegston. Amongst them were Greenfinch, Goldfinch and Chaffinch but in much lower numbers. The flocks were constantly taking off, splitting, rejoining and landing in the stubble or adjoining hedges.
Lovely, I haven’t seen one of those flocks for years.
These fields are very popular with wood pigeons as well, hundreds of ’em.
