Southfields Farm, Coleshill.

Nice to pay Southfields Farm in Coleshill another visit today where even though it was chilly the sun was still out and there were mainly blue skies.

Highlight of the day was seeing a flock of c.10 of Yellowhammer fly into a tree, I know ten doesn't seem much of a flock but it is when it comes to Yellowhammers, there was also roughly another ten feeding on one of the tracks and about the same number in the adjoining hedgerow, also pleasing to hear, as they were both hard to actually see were countless numbers of Skylark and Chiffchaff, on the other end of the scale but still equally pleasing to see was a small flock of Stock Dove flying overhead.

I was actually not going to mention the high numbers of House Sparrow today but there are that many that I nearly drove over some on the entrance to the farm, that's literally how many are present, they are certainly vocal enough, it should be amazing when the juveniles arrive.

Birds seen today were, Buzzard, Skylark, Yellowhammer, Chiffchaff, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Starling, Blackbird, Stock Dove, Woodpiegon, Raven, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Pheasant, Pied Wagtail, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen and Mallard.
