February 19th
We began a rainy morning looking unsuccessfully for the Pine Bunting at Chamber's Wall amongst the many buntings and sparrows present. We eventually gave up and walked up to Coldharbour and saw 60 Chaffinches, 27 Linnets, 40 Corn Buntings, 14 Yellowhammers, 60 Reed Buntings, 3 Redshank, 15 Shelduck, 42 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 6 Great Crested Grebes, 3 Stonechats, 2 Cetti's Warblers, 10 Mallard, 1 Snow Bunting, 1 Goldcrest and 50 House Sparrows.
