February 24th
The early morning fog persisted until mid morning and so it was a bit of a struggle to see anything as we walked from Shuart to Brooksend and on to Minnis Bay and Plumpudding. We managed to record 4 Ring-necked Parakeets, 3 Mistle Thrushes singing, 16 Blackbirds, 3 Green Woodpeckers, 2 Cetti's Warblers, 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers, 3 Red-legged Partridges, 1 Greenfinch, 4 Goldcrests, 1 Siskin (115th), 1 Jay, 5 Mallard and 1 Greylag Goose calling in the fog.
