Ogden Calm and cold. Full cloud cover. 0800-1000hrs
Very quiet this morning with still no sign of big gulls over and very few passerines, even the Lt tit flocks have disappeared.
Managed to scrape up 2 Siskin fly overs and the Bullfinch were found on the way back by the car park entrance.
A Gt Spotted Wdpecker was in trees by the lodge house and several Fieldfare were in fields along Soil Hill.
