During the late afternoon we had a walk on the Marsh south of the railway where the farm has left unharveted six metre margins of wheat to attract wintering finches and buntings. We counted 1 Common Buzzard, 115 Redwings, 57 Corn Buntings, 62 Chaffinches, 15 Fielfares, 1 Peregrine, 8 Yellowhammers, 40 Reed Buntings and 1 Marsh Harrier.
