Monday 13th Dec 2010 - Shenstone

Only had time for the briefest of visits to the patch today so I focused my efforts on the Butts Lane/Back Lane area. A small mixed flock of Buntings were presenty here which consisted of 3 Yellowhammers (2♂), 2 Corn Buntings and a ♀ Reed Bunting. 15 Fieldfares, 6 Blackbirds and 5 Redwings were present in the Hawthorn hedge. A ♀ Sparrowhawk was perched on a fence post along Butts Lane.

At 9:10 this morning, 25 Siskin were present in the Alders at Captains Pool for short period of time (TS).



2 ♂ Blackcaps were again present in my back garden.

  4. It is good infact usually the Buntings tend to flock together with the finches and form massive flocks mid winter.
