others were in the far horse field near the farm.
Around 200 Starling
A total of 278 Lapwing with possibly some stragglers
off into the sunset.
The overgrown and very wet footpath.
Juncus field
A last light visit to the trailer park at 1515 hrs found it very lively with all the Lapwings settling down together in the left hand field so I was able to count them before the light went .
A good, but not record, count of Snipe with a group of 12 flying round before settling with a second group in the horse field near the farm. Also 3 were present in the juncus field.
The massive Starling flock moved on towards their roost Bradford way and a single Heron drifted over towards Ringby at sunset.
4 winter plumaged Reed Buntings were in the juncus field along with a Wren whilst at least 3 Golden Plover were near the stables.

Please note that all these fields are private including the juncus field but the area can be viewed from the footpath between the juncus field and Tracys field.
