BOMBARDIER GLOBAL EXPRESS
of
Gama Aviation U.K.
In sharp contrast with previous days there were 'some' Birds across the southern reaches including small numbers of both Northern Thrushes
REDWING
maybe as many as 2 dozen
with fewer

FIELDFARE
gorging on the berries of the
Ornamental Trees
close to the Manor.

GADWALL
while further on, at the Moors River, a somewhat better
'click'

of one of the c4 now resident
EGYPTIAN GEESE

NUTHATCH
performed before our very eyes, a fine end to the day, and yet another addition to the
