A mixed day of sunshine and showers with a cool W>5.
Shelf Moor late pm held 32 Fieldfare in the hawthorn field with about 6 Redwing in the hedges whilst 4 Canada geese were at the pond along with 1 Moorhen and 2 pr Mallards.
Up to 200 Starlings were in a field along with 5 Lapwings. The Lapwing flock seems to have all but dispersed now.
Four Mistle Thrushes were on wires and a Green Woodpecker was calling from near the lion gates.
Hope those showers hold off tomorrow.
