Two sightings of the same Marsh Harrier this morning, I missed both, but the Black Redstart still present and what is presumably the same female Merlin seen carrying a Meadow Pipit.

Linnet flock
Starting to feel much more autumnal with cooler temperatures overnight but some lovely sunshine this morning, especially following yesterday's grey overcast weather. Finches are starting to build up on Screetham Lane with around 200 Linnet. Also single Golden Plover with the Lapwing first thing.

Linnet
In January I spent the month trying to see as many species as possible on foot in the Foot-it Challenge. The Linnet was by far the commonest bird in the area which I failed to see. Since then I have seen them most days, currently there are about 100 on Screetham Lane with another 50 around Bent Lane and Lumb Lane. However, they are not easy to photograph so I was pleased to see this reasonably confiding bird early this morning.
