17th March 2025 seen by Nigel Driver (via WhatsApp)

WeirWood was bright and sunny with patchy clouds mid to late morning and produced as follows, the Great Egret, pair of Shovellers, 7 Mandarins and Little Grebe, being very vocal. At the feeders Water Rail and lovely close views of Stock Dove under the feeders, I’ve never seen those 2 plus Pheasant and Mallard feeding together before. Also Marsh Tit was in and out the whole time. Overhead a Red Kite and 5 Buzzards were noted albeit distantly. Along Legsheath Lane a few Redwings and a Fieldfare plus a Siskin and 4 Redpolls was nice to see, I hadn’t seen a Fieldfare for a while. At the pumpkin field 8 Yellowhammers and 3 Reed Buntings were noted.
