Birds overhead

Re the Whooper Swan at the riverside park on Saturday with the colour ring. It may be a while before its origins are discovered - "As a result of this reorganisation, I regret that there is likely to be some delay in providing feedback on your ring re-sightings this winter."

To add to the winter birds, a Siskin flew over today, I don't think it will be too long before Fieldfare and Brambling join the list.  Also overhead, 17 Greenfinch flew west and a Long-tailed Tit, was circling (and gaining height) and calling constantly before flying off to the SW.
