Saw two Grey Partridge today not within our recording area but on the outskirts. This is very welcome news in that at the same location last spring a single bird was observed. The species used to be fairly common in our recording area and it was not uncommon to see Grey partridge regularly at Caldene fields sadly those days have long gone….but maybe, just maybe they may return..
There was a good movement of Fieldfare passing S/W through our area this morning a total of 2,144 flew S/W and 93 to the N.
