Did Nick goatman's Frampton pools this evening & it was dead. I'd almost completed the circuit & met Gordon Hodgson he'd found a male Redstart✅in the field S of the sailing lake. Then we found a very late Fieldfare. Also 30 Tufties, Common Sand, Bullfinch & 2 Sand Martins. #GlosBirds

I'm now off to the reed beds again. But before I go there's this Fieldfare trying to encourages worms to the top by tapping on the surface just like blackbirds do. Clever little things aren't they.
