Red Lane, Gospel End Village (November 24)

Another cold day, but at least it was dry. The lane pond again had a grey heron on it and 2 adult and 1 juvenile moorhen. Several house sparrow (male and female) in the trees and bushes around the pond, some bathing.
Just one bird of prey, a kestrel being mobbed in flight by a carrion crow.
Other birds included: magpie (numerous and very vocal), stock dove (2 birds on last field on the right), rook (single bird in flight), jay (in bushes along Penn Brook), grey wagtail (in flight near Red Lane Farm).
