1 Stonechat in back meadow, 2 Jays & 2 Mistle Thrush.

At Reed bed 7 Reed Buntings dropped in to roost, plus a Kestrel, 5 Redwings, 1 Chaffinch, 3 Goldfinch, 2 Grey Wagtails and a group of 5 Greenfinch flew over.

On the river a Kingfisher and a Little Grebe which was catching small Perch. First time I’ve seen one on the rive.
