Late december--and one more species

A walk by the Son-sonnette today produced a couple of siskins, so one more species can be added to the Dec list.
Large numbers of woodpigeons have been around since yesterday with some tight flocks numbering over 400.  Othher species today were:

collared dove
great spotted woodpecker
green woodpecker
mallard
grey heron
crow
magpie
jay
buzzard
kestrel
blue tit
great tit
goldcrest
wren
robin
goldfinch
chaffinch
linnet
cirl bunting
skylark
starling
house sparrow
blackbird
mistle thrush
redwing

 25 species  No great list -- but not quite disgraceful.

On Christmas Day a male hen harrier graced the fields near Fontenille
