It's late November but the weather is still mild and there is little sign of any winter arrivals but a single fieldfare was near Chatenet this morning and the huge chaffinch flocks in the Bonnieure valley included the occasional brambling. I have yet to see any significant movement of lapwings and the few song thrushes and mistle thrushes that I have come across may or may not be winter arrivals.
A flock of 20 woodlarks was a welcome sight near Chatenet and a pair of firecrests were feeding near Le Moulin d'Oiseaux.
On a more sombre note, it's sad to see how many barn owls are road victims at this time of year; I've seen about ten in the last few days.
