Some years we seem to get plenty of sightings of whoopers here (Eccleston) and other years we don't see any. 2 Curlew flew through this morning and landed on the field south of Sydbrook Hall farm. 130 Fieldfare today and 12 Redwings feeding on berries along Syd Brook. 2 Skeins of 75+ and 50+ Pinkfeet flying East.
1 Snipe I still havn't seen any Jacks this autumn so far. A Coal Tit was with a small flock of Long tails.

The immature Goldeneye was seen in its usual spot just upriver from the weir...no sign of any Gt.White Egrets though :D, 7 Tree Sparrows seen at the start of the first field off Tincklers Lane.
