Winter Migrants

Saw a flock of thrushes overhead today. Almost certainly fieldfares which makes them my first sighting of winter migrants for this year.
This comes at a time when, following recent storms, the weather has turned very mild, such that the local skylarks have been bursting into song for brief periods.
Vast flocks of pigeons remain feeding on the recently sown wheat fields, which also have the linnets in residence along with some chaffinches, starlings and members of the crow family.
Yesterday primroses were in bloom at Ightam Mote!
