A pleasant mid-afternoon circular walk from Great Hanging Bridge on Croston Finney/Moss.
Whoopers had increased to 45 including 10 juveniles. 10-15 Pinkfeet.
20 each of Corn Bunting and Skylark
Linnet 8 and 4 Chaffinch
Starling c500
Buzzard and Kestrel 1 each
Tree Sparrow 4 including 1 which made my heart skip a beat. I initially had the top half obscured by a branch and all I saw was a sandy brown bottom half and a black bib resembling Hawfinch !!
Surprise bird was a Treecreeper next to stables by the Finney Lane level crossing.
