Tuesday 9th February 2021 - Stone

3 Corn Buntings (1 singing) and 12 Lesser Redpoll were of note up at Heath Lane today.  Large numbers of Redwings and Fieldfares were feeding in the sheep fields.

Thursday 11th February 2021 - Garden (Kidderminster)

I spent a little time just watching the birds visiting my garden feeding stations today and was very pleased to record my first garden Siskin of the winter feeding on the sunflower hearts.  Also of interest was the ever-present one-legged Pied Wagtail that was visiting throughout the day to feed on the dried mealworms.  This bird first started visiting in late December and has been coming to the feeders daily ever since.

Friday 12th February 2021 - Stanklyn & Stone

At the sheep field along Stanklyn Lane a pair of Stonechats was again present.  

At Heath Lane 8 Lesser Redpoll were very showy with one individual perching out in the sunshine and singing away.
