I was sent to the north of the county for my second of my map squares where I record every bird I see. I get given 2 squares in November and another two in February. I do enjoy these tasks because they are usually places I wouldn’t go bird watching. Plenty of winter thrushes (Fieldfares and Redwings). A surprise was a pair of Goldcrests.

Stop Press:       The Great Northern Diver was released in the sea at Clevedon last week! Good news!

Pictures below are of a Fieldfare and a Redwing I have taken in previous years.
