Also a Heron flew past and two Nuthatches in the near trees.Though the weather was dull, with low cloud - or perhaps because of it - a Yellow Wagtail that I'd found a couple of days ago flew over calling and the Swallows and House Martins were gathered over the local lake. A big flock of Mistle Thrushes amongst a throng of birds later - including a couple of continental Song Thrushes , many Starlings and Goldfinches with a single Linnet. While a Chiffchaff obliged nearby. Pied Wagtails aplenty and a single Buzzard added to the day's list but yesterday's Stonechats refused to show. With 39 by the time I got to work a couple of Grey Wagtails there made the 40.And that without House Sparrow!</blockquote>
