 Took a trip to Oxenhope watchpoint on Monday morning

 to see the migration flocks after an invite by HC and I really

 enjoyed it DB was also up there with his vast amount of

 knowledge, 2 Raven, 600+ Redwing with a few Fieldfare

mixed in with them, 20+ Meadow Pipits, 16 Goldfinch, a

Juvenile Peregrine Falcon chasing Jackdaws and pigeons,

it was bitter cold but thanks for the invite and company HC.

The afternoon produced 3 Stonechat on Hag Lane and the 

garden had LTT's , 20+ Goldfinch, 2 Bullfinch, 4 Chaffinch,

Wren, Robin, Mistle Thrush, Starlings, Blue, Great and Coal
