It was a dull and windy afternoon today as I set out for my daily exercise walk and though overall it appeared to be quiet with little sign of anything new it was good to be able to come out. As I made my way up to the top fields I could see a flock of 120 Herring Gulls picking amongst the freshly worked soil and in amongst them were 9 Lesser Black-backed Gulls. They remained distant but I tried for a photo of the nearest.

The walk round remained quiet but every now and then I would pass a small group of Blue and Great Tits busily feeding and at various points a male Chaffinch broke into song from a high perch. On passing the lower paddock the 5 Fieldfare were still present in the field and had been joined by a flock of 25 Starling. One of the Fieldfare was a little closer today so I tried for a photo. It was nice to be able to get a little better photograph of the beautifully well marked individual.

As I headed for home a small flock of 15 Linnet called frequently as they flew up from the field and flew towards the bike track, chattering away as they went.
