Started off OK with several Goldfinch at bottom Persperation Rd. Ah before I forget a Lapwing was flying around Raggalds Flood.
At the top of the road a flock of around 23 Fieldfare took off from the first right hand field. A welcome sight and my first of the year. They were in with a bigger bunch of Starling.
Then it all went downhill as did my footfall.
Distant Curlew calls. Small numbers of Meadow Pipit a Pheasant 😏.
DB was there and we had a chat. He too was struggling with a poor species count.
A large flock of Woodpigeon were down Taylor Lane.
Time to seriously consider taking up smuggling and drop this obsessive pastime.
