The weather conditions have been very abnormal with relatively mild but extremely wet conditions. I have not seen a goldfinch on the garden feeders for the last two months, when in previous winters, a small flock have always been around.
Have hardly seen signs of fielfares or redwings in recent weeks, the odd small flock seen at a distance.
Large numbers of jackdaws (along with carrion crows) are displaying over the nearby wood each evening prior to settling to roost for the night. Not dissimilar to the evening murmurations of starlings.
