Had a couple of hours at Pipe Green this morning (8.45-10.45).

1xRobin
3xWren (heard many more skulking in the long grass)
29xFieldfare flew over in the direction of Burntwood at 10.00
30+Redwing fuelling up on berries
130 Goldfinch in two seperate flocks
1xBullfinch
6xChaffinch
Numerous Blue Tit and Great Tit
Jackdaw
2xBuzzard
20+Carrion Crow
30+Blackbird
Plenty of Woodpigeon
One or two Greenfinch with the Goldies
1xGrey Heron flying north

Nice to hear these reports from inland sites and the fact that there is plenty to see.

Must have been some sight to see so many goldfinches together. Sounds like a good visit.

It certainly was Kits. I try to get out there once a week (commitments and weather permitting) and this was definitely a memorable morning.
