A very wet Siskin....
A day off, but a wet one to say the least. A walk around the Village and Millcombe yielded 4 Long-tailed Tits in St Johns Valley with 2 Goldcrests, very soggy Chaffinches, a Siskin hiding in a wall(!), single Goldfinch, 12 Fieldfare, 22 Song Thrushes, 32 Redwing, 8 Blackbirds, the male Wigeon in Bartons, the Jackdaw outside Pigs, and 5 Ravens overhead with the 'normal' House Sparrows and Starlings.
Nocturnal wanderings around a couple of fields resulted in a Woodcock seen and ringed, 5 Snipe seen (2 ringed), as well as 3 Redwing seen and ringed.
