3 Common Crane on the ground in St Werburgh's, Bristol first thing this morning. The surprised observer nearly fell off her bike.
The drake Ring-necked Duck seems to have relocated to Blagdon.
1 Crossbill at Twycross, CVL - very rare for Chew.
Lots of photos sent in today - thank you! I tried to include at least one from everyone, but I'm afraid some had to hit the cutting room floor.
