Southfields Farm, Coleshill.








Great visit to Southfield's Farm this morning where it was very frosty underfoot and hardly a cloud in the sky with a very bright winter sun to round things off.

After predicting it would be a birdwatching fest for most of the visit there was hardly a bird to be seen or heard which just shows what I know, thankfully there was still plenty to see at the beginning and ending of the proceedings, of course it was great to walk around the farm all the same.

The best was definitely saved to last as in the last field there was a good number of mixed Redwing and Fieldfare with strangely there was actually more Fieldfare than Redwing, hard to tell their number as I was looking into the sun, but it was around seventy five, it was nice to see many flocks of mixed Tit and Finch, also there was a good number of Blackbird and Robin to be seen, including the very friendly Robin you can see above.

Birds seen today were, Buzzard, Grey Heron, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Coal Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Robin, Wren, Dunnock, Starling, Redwing, Fieldfare, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow and Magpie.
