weekend roundup

A midday walk from new bridge to wightwick and back yesterday did not add much to Geoff's post.  A pair of raven as usual flying on a north east to south west heading going towards tin acre hill.  A pair of mistle thrush and a pair of goldfinch at Compton allotments were joined by 2 redwing.  No siskin in the valley but they are still very much in evidence in garden silver birch on the escarpment.
Today's star bird was a peregrine which was circling the new houses by St Edmund's. 2 grey wagtail at either end of my circular route a bright bird at the water bridge and a subdued one at Compton lock.  Plenty of song thrush sightings but not much song but the first full repertoire from a blackbird.  Goldcrest on the canal where there were 4 little grebe.
