Below is the spreadsheet for the Old Lodge bird count for January 2014.
The highlight was Parrot Crossbills. We had a bit of difficulty counting and only got up to 9, whereas at other times it has clearly been 10. We must have missed one. They just sat in a pine on South Heath munching away at cones. They could not be dislodged in order to count them, and just dropped cones on us in our attempts.
2 Mallard, 1 starling and 1 woodlark are perhaps of more interest in terms of possible breeding species, but they do not bring the twitchers in.
34 species is really quite good for the winter.
