Strange visit to Southfields Farm in Coleshill this morning, even though it was great, the visiibilty was very poor due to heavy fog/mist, so on one hand it was great to 'see' the farm as I very rarely see it but on the other hand it was by far the worst bird count I have ever had there but it is what it is and it was still a great morning all the same.
The highlight of the morning was seeing (as much as I could) the massive amount of land that has been sowed for the birds in the Autumn/Winter, it was at least six fields given over especially to the birds, I also spoke to John and he is already refining how he manages the fields even more and even now is thinking of what to plant in time for Spring to attract in more insects which will in turn obviously attract more birds.
For the record birds seen today were, Buzzard, Pheasant, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Wren, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion crow and Magpie.
