  Paid a visit to Wightwick Fields today to look for the corn bunting that Garath had yesterday. No sign today though. However did have about four yellowhammer with some greenfinch which flew from the hedgerow running down from the bridge to perch in a tree by the Smestow and then flew off towards Windmill La. Five goosander flew around the field and away to the north west. Other for the  year included kestrel,fieldfare and house sparrow.
