With the weather forecast to be fine and calm, I decided to hit the road early this morning and headed first towards Burton Dassett. When I arrived at 7:15am there were already a couple of dog walkers there but in general it was quiet. A quick walk round gave me some Linnets, Skylarks, Pied Wagtails and 15 Fieldfare. Next stop was Gredenten Hill where there was a set-aside field which was attracting lots of birds in it and in the bushes next to it. Besides, some Wrens, loads of Pheasants, Dunnocks and Robins, I also counted about 100 Linnets and 1 Sparrowhawk that took a pot shot at them. As I drove onto Avon Dassett about 40-50 Redwings flew across the road and the road through Arlescote produced up to 10 Bullfinch.
Edgehill was very quiet but the road below it was more productive with Skylark and at least 5 Tree Sparrow. I decided to drive through Kineton on the way back and then onto Lighthorne where I strolled round the heath (north) which only had about 10 Skylarks, 2 Mallard, 1 Grey Heron and a Kestrel.
