Very large flocks of Redwing, Fieldfare numbering estimate of 300+ birds in some areas!!. 1000's of Lapwing covering the lowland fields. 2 Woodcock in fields at Bow Street in amoung Lapwing and several Snipe.
 
Yns-Las: 2 Raven, 1000+ Lapwing and 200+Golden Plover, 2 Redshank, 300+ Redwing and Fieldfare with, lots of Blackbird and Song Thrush covering the fields everywhere!!. 4 Stonechat, 2 Snipe, 23 Meadow Pipit, 11 Reed Bunting, 1 Merlin, 1 Sparrowhawk, 2 Buzzard in fields aswell.
