The mist had given way to sunshine by the time I reached the reserve at 1230. As I walked to the hide I disturbed some redwing and fieldfares, the latter were chattering as they flew across the field to the nearby mature trees.
The water level in the scrape does not appear to have changed much since my last visit. Lots of crows, rooks and jackdaws about. Several crows were chasing a buzzard, which sought refuge in a hawthorn bush.
A pair of pied wagtails were on the edge of the scrape.
Redwings and fieldfares were looking for food to the left of the hide.
Elaine arrived and we chatted for a while before she left to go and see if there were any birds feeding in the set aside field. A pleasant couple of hours.
