Thrushes on the move

More Common gull

House Sparrows on Nyger, taken through window.

A clear cold day with heavy frost this morning. Daylight noticeable lenghtening now.

A good thrush movement around midday today with 3 flocks of Fieldfare c40 c20 c80 high over the Dailie fields >N with a few smaller birds in with them, presumably Redwing , whilst 3 Mistle Thrush flew low over Foxhill park briefly stopping in trees then off also >N.
Also a customer rang in today to say he ,d had large flocks of Fieldfare and Redwing in his garden for the last couple of days which he says is unusual. He also told me of finding a dead Badger, road casualty victim, in the Harden area. There,s supposed to be a few Badgers at undisclosed sites in the Queensbury area but thats an animal Ive yet to see in the wild.
