Grey Partridge were the far side of the carpark field (along the county boundary) Corn Bunting landing briefly before carrying on (assuming feeding young) best of luck.

I've done a few 10 mile walks recently and only been seeing (more hearing) Crossbill. I've put it down to a Beechmast fail, whats your thoughts?
