Burnham Beeches
A fairly early walk in the Beeches in poor light brought at least twenty-five redpolls. As far as I could make out they were all lesser.
Two bramblings were feeding in the leaf litter with chaffinches and great tits, and at least ten redwings were seen.
Given that thousands of wood pigeons have been recorded leaving these shores, it's a mystery to me how there can still be so many left! They're a flaming nuisance, flapping about all over the place and spooking the smaller birds when they suddenly fly up through the trees.
