Bradshaw - Holdsworth Circular

 A couple of hours birding walk this afternoon ,a very breezy affair, some sun, some cloud, no rain.

The usual route through the fields to Holdsworth, back via the small copse.

Birds:-

1 Greenfinch fly over.

Bullfinch.

2 Pied Wagtail.

2 Herring Gulls.

A very pale large Gull , distant, on a post, probably a first or second winter Herring Gull.

I was thinking 1st Winter but when I read the plumage detail ,it mentions a white bill tip on a 2nd winter bird, which my picture shows?

3 Mistle Thrush.

Also a small flock (c15) of very flighty Thrush types in tree tops in the copse.

I spent a good while trying to get something on them, but as I neared them they moved further along until they left en-masse.

A poor photo of them leaving, Mistle Thrush for definite but some of the smaller birds could have been Redwing.
