Abbey Park Farm
This red-legged partridge seemed to be sunning itself on the roof of the empty cottage.
A bullfinch was in the overgrown garden.A male yellowhammer was a nice sight among the fieldfares at the top of the tree as he's the first one I've seen here for several years.
Two or three reed buntings were still around.
They were later seen feeding with a large flock of chaffinches (and the yellowhammer) near the pond, on a strip that held corn in the summer. A container that might be a pheasant feeder was nearby.

Six buzzards were spiralling up in the blue sky calling, half a dozen lapwings were vocal and displaying, and a heron by the pond was a woods tick. I had no luck today with lesser spotted woodpeckers in the woods, where huge numbers of redwings were heard chattering and coal tits were observed mating.
