One of our birds may have lost its collar as it is sending out static position information for the past two days. A hunt yesterday produced no real clue other than it would appear the collar has detached itself from the birds neck. I am now looking for an adult male with a white ring on it's right leg.
Saw a flock of 74 at Luckenburn yesterday with another smaller group of 53 today. With the rest of the flock elsewhere it has not been possible to get a full update on the size of the flock this winter.
Got a pleasant surprise today on the plateau when I heard a Green Woodpecker calling. Later it flew off from nearby in the direction of a distant wood. Still no sign of flocks of Fieldfare and Redwing this autumn.
