Date	Species	Site	Count	Observer
25/01/25	Jackdaw	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	782	H Appleyard
	An approximate count of singles, pairs and flocks coming into roost at Howe Park Wood. Counted over the course of about 80 minutes.
25/01/25	Yellowhammer	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	1	H Appleyard
	Given away by calls as it flew to the east/southeast past Howe Park Wood in the late afternoon. Part of a pre-roost finch/bunting movement which I've never seen before in the Tattenhoe area. Presumably a bird from the outskirts of the city.
25/01/25	Reed Bunting	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	2	H Appleyard
	2 individuals seen heading to the east/southeast in a pre-roost movement in the late afternoon. One very high-flying bird followed by a much lower bird a little while later, both heading past Howe Park Wood.
25/01/25	Chaffinch	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	8	H Appleyard
	A minimal count, with at least this number from finch flocks heading to the south/southwest in an early morning movement and possibly 6 additional individuals heading to the east/southeast in a gradual pre-roost movement past Howe Park Wood.
25/01/25	Kingfisher	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	1	H Appleyard

25/01/25	Moorhen	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	24	H Appleyard
	Birds counted from the Tattenhoe Valley Park and the orchard.
25/01/25	Greenfinch	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	8	H Appleyard
	8 seen heading to the south/southwest in an early morning movement and possibly an additional 5 flying high together in a pre-roost movement over the estate during the late afternoon.
25/01/25	Herring Gull	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	7	H Appleyard

25/01/25	Sparrowhawk	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	1	H Appleyard

	Calling not far apart.
25/01/25	Linnet	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	2	H Appleyard
	Possibly more. One initially seen heading to the southwest and a single dispersing from a roost soon after. Interestingly the first time I've seen a roosting bird leave Tattenhoe, with the vast majority in the area still using Tattenhoe Park to the southwest of the V1. Later a single flew to the north and possibly another to the west/northwest in a late afternoon movement.
25/01/25	Song Thrush	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	6	H Appleyard
	Including 5 singers, one of which made Quail-like calls at one point near Howe Park Wood.

	Heard calling at two locations at dawn.
25/01/25	Collared Dove	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	2	H Appleyard
	Pair at the brook. Still a familiar species in the area but not one I tend to see in flocks here anymore, being much more frequent when I was in my early years here.
25/01/25	Little Grebe	Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes	1	H Appleyard
	Lingering bird first seen in autumn 2024 still present at the brook.
