Bird Feeder

Just put up my feeders for the winter: Within the first day I observed four different tits (blue, great, coal, and willow); five goldfinches; a female blackcap and a greater spotted woodpecker. See pictures below.

There is still a flock of linnets (around fifty) on the stubble fields and were joined today by a flock of around twenty pied wagtails. The farmer has planted wheat today and so there has been an influx of pigeons (wood and feral); crows, jackdaws and gulls. There have also been a few skylarks on the field over last few days (the first for some weeks).

Near Sheffield Park yesterday, saw a large flock of meadow pipits on a cattle pasture.
