20th produced a raven over the barleyfield which called a few times and headed for wightwick.
21st produced an adult little grebe on the canal by the water bridge but dont think this was a wintering bird-too early- much more likely to be off the racecourse lake due to falling water levels.
22nd again at waterbridge 4 grey wagtail 2 immature and 2 adult all on the tiny bit of mud at the outfall from the racecourse.
23rd definite signs of movement with a spotted flycatcher and 3 willow warbler (1 singing) in the paddock and 5 whitethroat on the field.
