I stopped twice on my run today - once to look a big flock of birds that had just flown into the top of a tree - definitely some Starling in there but couldn't work out what else, and then again about 50m later to check the Little Egret in the field was definitely a Little Egret as someone had said they'd seen a Cattle Egret fly over a few days before. It was definitely a Little Egret.

I've learnt not to try and look and run..... most of the time......

Winter thrushes (redwing - similar size to song thrush ie slightly bigger than starling and fieldfare - more like mistle thrush size ie much bigger than starling) are possibles

Being mobbed by LTTs again this morning. They seem to approve of the fatballs and suet cake I have at the moment :-)

My LTTs are enjoying some Wensleydale cheese at the moment! Wensleydale taints pretty quickly after opening unless you keep it air-tight, and I had some which wasn't tasting good so I put it in a feeder. LTTs, blue tits and great tits have been working their way through it.

Cheese doesn't long enough here to get offered to the birds. No matter how much I like seeing them!

I thought cheese was like red wine - open and consume on day of purchase ;)
