Well that's it for another year!
Nothing new or particularly exciting to to write about in the last few days though. The pair of Stonechats remained at the Borrow Pit pool and the single female was still present in the cattle field. A drake Goosander visited on the afternoon of the 30th and was still present this morning. Three Shovelers and a decent number of Gulls still loafed around in the UCV fields. Regular winter visitors were present with Kingfisher seen in a few locations, Siskins around in low numbers still and winter thrushes (particulalry Redwings in the cattle field) showing well at times.
Although 2020 was a difficult year, the year list didn't suffer too badly. In fact, it was actually quite a good year for numbers of species but there has been no really good stand out highlights! I can't really pick a bird of the year really, but there were several really 'good' patch birds.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year and good birding in 2021. Let's see what highlights we have next year!
