Cold weather thrush arrivals

 The cold spell has resulted in a big influx of thrushes in to the valley with hundreds of Redwing and Blackbird feeding in areas with little snow. I counted 40 Redwing feeding in the Whitworth Park with 30 Blackbirds and at least 6 Song Thrush. 

Redwing

Although the ponds were frozen the open water where it entered the park was full of Mallard and the female Teal was still with them.

I only saw one Hawfinch during a brief visit to St Helen's Church but it was nice to see them in the sunshine over the last couple of days.
