 Goldcrest, 1 of 2 by the church today. Per Alan Dawson. from Cholsey Wildlife https://cholseywildlife.blogspot.com/2020/11/goldcrest.html

Light cloud with a few sunny periods, 13°, light SSW. Alan along the river again today and managed to see a Wigeon drop in on the river briefly before flying off again. The first record of this species in Cholsey this year. Also a Little Grebe , Grey Wagtail and a flyover Raven . Unable to get out today so just made do with what was around the garden. A male Sparrowhawk swept thru on a couple of occasions but did not manage to take anything and a brief visit of a Jackdaw and a Mistle Thrush singing at the top of a tree in the garden. Have not seen a Nuthatch in the garden since early spring so not sure what has become of them? Butterflies: 2 male Brimstone .
