Goldfinch were the prevailing bird; I came across 3 patches of them including one in the trees across the road from the house.
There wasn't much else doing apart from a notable observation on the track skirting the lower golf course.
Flood water has created a large almost knee deep pond. I was stood preparing to circumvent when a Snipe flew over the nearby wall and dropped therein. It took a couple of steps, had a sip of water then flew off. The views were close up; Bins unnecessary.
The GSW is still hammering away. Others include 4/5 Chaffinch, 4 Blackbird a few Starling & 1 each Meadow Pipit & Pied Wagtail
