Along the old Cote Road

A quick trip in the car along the Cote back road gave me an opportunity to check the fields on either side as they usually have good numbers of Mute Swan with occasional other birding interest mingling with them. On this occasion there were about forty Mute Swans and one Egyptian Goose , this solitary goose has been keeping company with the swans for some weeks now.
Also in the Cote fields circa four hundred Fieldfares and a little surprising not a single Redwing did I record. Other birds seen were three Kestrel.
The Oxon Feather.
