link to spreadsheet at bottom

- 32 species

- bit windy, but lots of sun

- 32 species was not bad given few winter visitors

- single brambling was nice, eating mast crushed by our cars

- barn owl looks likely to be in residence, but did not see it

- lots of birds not seen, but undoubtedly present

- skylarks and meadow pipits probably moving through


- reed buntings back for winter

- saw a number of dragonflies, including southern hawker, common darter

- 3 slow worms

- forwarder has done a thorough job

- log pile now being taken away, i think
