Queensbury South New Years Day

0925-1120 hrs in mild bright weather. Littlemoor Park was a good start before hitting the open areas where things fizzled out somewhat. A modest 24 species clocked up but I'm sure it would have been less had I gone up the Soil Hell route.
The Park birds include 1 Bullfinch, 3 Fieldfare, 2 Mistle Thrush, c25 Redwing, few Goldfinch & GSW.
Open fields include Pied Wagtail, Moorhen, 2 Snipe, few Goldfinch & a late show of c21 Lapwing.
I failed to get Collared Dove, which at one time a few years back would have been a certainty.

DM sent me a Wots App; he got 2 Buzzard, Greenfinch & Siskin among others this morning, down in the valley.
