JAN 3RD 2013 - UK NEW YEAR LIST

After an early morning dentist appointment I managed to get out for an hour or so. I walked from the cottage we are staying in at North Perrott, Somerset into some orchards which were lined with alder, ash and brambles. Some open maize fields held large flock of finches and the orchards still had fallen fruit which was being devoured by the winter thrushes.

Brambling - it was high up in a tree when I digiscoped it


The Chaffinch flocks held at least 5 Bramblings and probably more, I also saw a large Siskin flock which flew off and several individual Siskins feeding close by.

My walk produced 25 species four of which went on to my new year list: which now stands at 34.

31. Long-tailed Tit
32. Wren
33. Siskin
34. Brambling
