Yellowhammer and Tree Sparrow
As it was a light NW breeze this morning I gave the usual sea watch a miss, instead I took the opportunity to wander out onto Walland Marsh in the beautiful sunshine. I found 10+ Tree Sparrows and 20+ Corn Buntings, also a pair of Yellowhammers that were un expected, the fields were full of Skylarks, Lapwing and Golden Plover, alas despite the abundance of Haw berries I did not see a single Thrush of any description and very few Finches, Several each of Ravens and Common Buzzards were seen, a confiding Chiffchaff was in a lone patch of Bramble.
