Banwell, Winthill:
I believe statisticians say a negative record is just as important as a positive. Well, for much of my hour battling against the wind this afternoon it looked as if I might be sending a negative report because there was neither sight nor sound of a single bird! Then, the song of a Dunnock and the clucking of a Blackbird before a few corvids (Jackdaws, Rooks and a Carrion Crow) made their presence known. Finally, riches beyond the dreams of avarice in the shape of the first 2 Mistle Thrushes that I have seen here this year, with a single Redwing. Bliss.
