Nice to get some Fieldfare and Redwing. It was clear more or less from the start especially with the Fieldfare, they were not happy and came in to Hutton Roof and then circled a couple of times and continue to go W, however some of the parties went back SE. Good mixture early on. Also some came down for resting and feeding. Good Skylark move.
