Monday 16th December

Another blowy day, leaves everywhere but most trees still standing. Fieldfare numbers have increased over the weekend on the research station (East Malling) with an estimated 80+ in the orchards, still not particularly high compared to previous years. I checked out the dormice boxes, no evidence of any, but a Great Tit nest with a lone, long-forgotten egg still in place!
Three Pheasants crept around the orchards, strangely when I toured Kent last week and got 80+ species in a day I failed to find a single Pheasant - typical!
