A different route taking in the Finney brought similar sightings so I won't list them all again.

Favourites were: Yellowhammers seen in 4 locations. Tree sparrow also seen in 4 locations. Several flocks of linnet. 20+ Fieldfare. Wren. Pretty sure I saw a female merlin on The Finney. :D A weasel running across Drink House Lane. Nuthatch. A buzzard being mobbed by 3 crows.
