Thanks to Dave Helliar for providing a round up of local birds from over the last 5-6 weeks. A heavy bout of (Aussie?) flu has seen Dave out of action for some time so good to see him back on his feet and out birding again.

Firecrest in Dave's back garden just before Christmas.
What and early Christmas present! |

Fieldfare at Forde Abbey. You'd travel a long way
to twitch one if they were rare. |

Such smart birds. |

Hawfinches continue to delight the masses. This one
was 1 of 12 at Cattistock Church in Dorset. |

Corn Bunting, Maiden Castle, Dorset
Probably the most reliable site to see these once common birds. |
