I ranged far and wide today but there really weren’t many birds around. Has the amazing local birding winter of 2023/4 started fizzling out?
I did see a flock of Brambling and the grey-headed Woodpecker was still present (no photos of either) but no crossbills. The only passerine I photographed was the above Dusky Thrush. Near a crematorium. It was pretty lifeless today fittingly.
