Planned to go up to the lodge to have a look at their binoculars so was lucky that for once some sunshine was forcast for early in the morning so when up early to see what was about but did't get very far as around the car park lots of winter thrushes were feeding on the yew tree in the car park. Mainly feeding were flocks of Redwings which seem to fly in quite regularly often feeding in the middle of the bush but every now and then came to feed on the yew berries out in the open.

Also with the flocks of Fieldfare was heard along with a few Blackbirds and a lone Mistle Thrush. Smaller birds feeding around near the feeder and yew trees were Coal Tits, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Chaffinches and calling Nuthatches.

Then when for a walk around the main reserve where there lots of Coal Tits around espically around the Meadow Hide along with four Mallards on the pond. On the heath heard Great-spotted and Green Woodpecker and near the new toad ponds had a nice flock of Long-tailed Tits which contained a number of Goldcrest and a lone Treecreeper as well as a number of Blue and Great Tits.
