1400-15.30 It was quite pleasant walking on the Common this afternoon,the cold winds of late had been replaced by a milder southerly,although it was very wet underfoot from all the rain we have been having.No Pipits were seen today and Redshank numbers were down to around 30 birds.Linnets numbered 15 and Magpie 25.Other birds noted were - good numbers of Common Gull at least 50,3 Canada Geese,1 Greylag,50 Lapwing,7 Mallard,1 drake Teal,2 Coot, and 4 Fieldfare.One of the meadows is holding some nice water flashes and had attracted 3 Shelduck and 1 Little Egret.
