Sunday 17th March 2013
Dry, sunny, calm light SW
Dusk watch: 18:00 - 19:00 Top of Barleyfield 

The high number of Starlings counted this morning prompted me to do a dusk watch to see if they were local birds travelling to and from feeding sites. However not a single bird was seen during the watch.

Mallard - 5 SW and 10+ into Compton Park wetland to roost.
Grey Heron - 1 SW over valley.
Lesser Black-backed Gulls - 23 in V formation NW.
Jackdaw - 100 South and 13 North

Other sightings:
Woodpigeon - 50+ on Compton Park
Goldfinch and Greenfinch singing by new housing development
Grey Wagtail - 1 North from Graisley culvert.
Green Woodpecker - calling Eastern Border.
Song Thrush -birds singing till dark at top of Barleyfield, the Crossings and Meccano Bridge.
Bullfinch - 4+ at the Barleyfield Crossings.
