Nearly winter

A few more duck in now - Teal probably over 60, and 20 Wigeon joining a similar number of Gadwall.
The drier weather this last week has seen the water levels drop a little and so the few remaining cattle in the meadows I have allowed over the concrete bridge to then far half.
In fact its been so mild the grass has started growing again, and then late drilled wheat has just poked its head over the parapet.
Still very few Fieldfares around  - counted just a dozen this morning. They were flying over the down to the wood above, passing by the 60 Starlings that have taken residence with the grazing cows.
