A CHARM OF GOLDFINCHES

I spent a couple of hours at Shornecote reed bed in the Cotswold water parks this afternoon Glorious sunshine and not too cold or breezy so an enjoyable autumn walk. Not a large number of species seen, but the sun shed some good light on a group of goldfinches feeding on teasels and a stonechat sat up high on a bush.

Species noted: buzzard, heron, coot,  moorhen, gadwall, teal, mallard, long tailed tit, blue tit, great tit, dunnock, robin, wren, blackbird, pheasant, magpie, wood pigeon, stonechat, goldfinch,  cettis warbler (heard).
