Couple of good birds in the last 3 days, not seen by me I hasten to add, but found by Graham Smith – a Red-rumped Swallow on Weds evening and a Ring Ouzel yesterday, both in the area above Sully Brook.
For me today a good number of Fieldfare & Redwing dotted around the place, one feeding bunch disturbed by a Sparrowhawk that shot into their bush and settled for a few seconds. A Cetti’s Warbler was singing v close to me along the Mile Road near the centre viewpoint but would not show. A total of 3 feeding parties of Long-tailed Tits were seen, tho’ nothing too exciting accompanied them, apart from a Goldcrest. A Chiffchaff was calling by the Mile Road yesterday morning.
