It's the Christmas holidays—whoop whoop—and that means one thing: catching up with all the stuff that's been piling up waiting to be done for the last six months. With today pretty much being my only free day this week, and with it being dry, I took the chance to head down to Woolston Eyes. Thirty birds were caught around the feeders with the above Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Lesser Redpoll being the best of the bunch. Sightings included two Yellowhammers flying over, a couple of Goldcrests, Redwings etc, and big numbers of Woodpigeons (one flock of 500+) passing overhead. Also two Wrens ringed, both first-year birds.
