| 17:33 | Over the fish ponds just before dark with a small duck, probably a Teal. Amazingly, my second patch tick of the weekend... | |||
| 16/11/24 | Firecrest | Bickton | 2 | R M Webb |
| 10:00 | With Golcrests and a Treecreeper in hedge along the southern lane in the village. My first Firecrests in the Bickton 'loop' in the nearly 9 years that we've lived. A good find but despite much effort this autumn here I remain YBWless ...! | |||

| 17:30 | I don't usually think too much about our local Collared Doves, but I've never seen this many together here, or come to think of it, anywhere?! 26 sitting on one telegraph line together. | |||
