A bright day with long spells of sunshine but still the cold E>3
A quick pass through of Shelf Moor tonight provided 26 Fieldfare and 11 Redwing in the Hawthorn field,
5 Greenfinch and 3 House Sparrows in the Gorse bush field and 1 Moorhen with 4 Mallard on the pond.
On my way back just after last light,1715hrs, Lapwings were coming in to roost, in the now dark, to the circus field counting approx 120.
