I popped out between the showers a few moments ago and my reward was watching a stunning male siskin on the feeders. Not too surprisingly considering the cold and wet it's been very quiet here today, but our regional Director James Robinson popped in on his way to a meeting at HQ and was very happy, as he'd seen the bramblings under the feeders!
There is still a sizeable flock of winter thrushes on Sandy Ridge, but I've checked a few times without success for any wheatears as yet. Hope we get to see one soon!
