A drive around Walland Marsh this morning found several flocks of Fieldfares, more Mistle Thrushes than of late, only a few Redwings, plenty of Tree Sparrows around Baynham Farm and poor views of a 7+ Bewick Swans at Hooks wall.

On the reserve the Long-eared owl was showing well, and from Makepiece a superb 2w Caspian Gull.
