before the weather closed in this morning i had great views of a huge finch flock at ludwell valley country park. the flock was a good 500+ birds including brambling, gold and greenfinch, house sparrow and reed bunting all feeding on seeds in rough pasture. also the first bird of the day was a sparrowhawk. 3 fieldfare were in the bushes too.
i am a bit gutted about this year as i only had 1 bird more than last year and that was low. this years count was 177 species.
better luck next year.
happy new year!!
