We spent the morning out on the Marsh ringing by a field where the farm had left last year's wheat crop and where large numbers of buntings have been feeding. During the morning we counted 166 Corn Buntings, 200 Reed Buntings, 6 Yellowhammers, 35 Tree Sparrows, 1 Common Buzzard, 34 Stock Doves, 1 Little Egret, 2 Marsh Harriers and 76 Fieldfares.
