Curlew > NW passing  a Lapwing overhead. Skylark > N, 7 Fieldfare in with about 80+ Starling. c30 small |Gull sp. flying around and 10 Woodpigs.

Ogden Giants Tooth - Nuthatch calling incessantly close by but managed to keep hidden as did a single Crossbill that chipped 3/4 times. 2 Meadow Pipit > W.
As reported yesterday by DJS the reservoir area was deadly quiet - Cormorant, few small Gulls, Mallards. Couple Goldfinch, Goldcrest, Coal Tit.

Soil Hell, now very muddy. Top field c20 Linnet; Bottom field c70 Lapwing and nothing else apart from caaawvids!
