I took a leisurely stroll through the Fairfield Orchard and up to the canal this morning. The
linnet flock in the 'new' arable field continues to grow and there were around 120 feeding on the deliberately planted seeding vegetation around the field edges.

| Female brambling |
Also of note was a female
brambling in with c30 chaffinch at Pony Wood. I can't remember the last time we had an on-the-deck brambling in the Aldcliffe area so this is a great bird locally.
(The pic here is one of another brambling I photographed elsewhere last winter).
There were good numbers of
redwing and
fieldfare in and around the area too.
A flock of c400
pink-footed geese were grazing in the drumlin field to the west of the footpath leading up to Admiralty Wood.
