Birdcount .... 10th October 2013

Below is the link to the spreadsheet of the birdcount for October 10th 2013

38 species, with Hen Harrier and Bramblings being the rarer birds.  Harrier was being chased across the stream by a Crow.  The Bramblings were interested in the Beech mast at the tool store.

Winter is here as far as the Fieldfare  ( 190)  and Redwings (33)  are concerned, and these put the total number of birds way up.

Crossbills and Reed Buntings made a welcome comeback.   The Reed Buntings are regular winter visitors here, coming up presumably for the grass seeds.

There were a surprising number of wrens for a count at 35.
