Well on this miserable gloomy day I decided to venture
down to Coley to try and see the Brambling that BS had
seen down there, I finally came across them but could only
see a couple of them and no chance of a decent shot in the
dark and standing behind branches and leaves but at least
I got to see them, flock of Goldfinch with a few Greenfinch
mixed in with em, flighty Redwing flying from tree to tree,
lots of Chaffinch about both sides of road and what I thought
was a Mistle Thrush until I looked through my binoculars and
it had a pink chest to my surprise, shame it flew off just as I
raised my camera, so I was straight onto Dave S hoping he
could give me a clue, Rose-Coloured Starling Waxwing were
the birds thought about, after looking at photographs of these birds
the juvenile Rose Starling seemed to be the nearest to what
I saw but with missing taking a pic it'll have to be a
possible COULD HAVE been which is a shame as I know
what I saw, so hopefully someone local might be able to spot
it again in the Coley graveyard opposite the church.
It was nice to bump into Andy Cockroft whom I haven't met
before but read his blog, who was also hoping to see Brambling.
Blackbirds, Robins, Blue Tits, Wood Pigeon, lots of Gulls and
Corvids and 2 Pied Wagtail were also seen at the church and
down the lane in the fields. Plenty of House Sparrows in trees
just up the road from the graveyard.
