A good start to the new birding year with A Great Spotted Woodpecker, a Fieldfare and Mistle Thrush in the garden early on.
23 Goldfinches, 13 Chaffinches, 4 Greenfinches and 3 Lesser Redpolls were on and around the feeders, and a grey squirrel appeared and ran off with a piece of apple.
Went for a good walk to Stoodley Pike, over to Warland reservoir, across to Gaddings Dam and down to Lee Dam with not a single bird of note all the way round, until Lee Dam where a Goldcrest was flitting about. Nothing on the water today and ice is still covering most of the surface.
Back home a couple of Ravens flew over the house, then 74 Redwings and 3 Fieldfares landed in the fields behind the house.
