Salthouse Garden - 8th November 2026

 A return to the garden brought 36 birds for the record sheet, 24 being Lesser or Mealy Redpolls. There were a few Blackbirds early on but these soon moved on and only 4 were captured. Five Blue Tits was a reasonable proportion in this number of birds and the total was completed with singles of Chaffinch, Goldcrest and Chiffchaff.
