02/01/21	Brambling	Stonesfield: Kingswood Brake	11	S Myers
22:58	6+ feeding on seed with large numbers of chaffinch, while 5 others in a nearer tree, might be a very conservative count of numbers in area today. Quite a sight!
01/01/21	Brambling	Stonesfield: Kingswood Brake	70	J Taylor
20:47	Response to count question at this site yesterday. Two large groups of Brambling and Chaffinch present with birds both feeding on ground and in bushes. 70 is not a typo but a good estimate of number present at that time with 100+ Chaffinch.

17:35	I have been monitoring this sight for the last two months and wonder if the report of 70 Brambling might be a typo ? 1st January. 5 were first seen on the 10th November, a maximum of 25 were seen on the 1st December. 14 on 17th, 10 on 24th, 10 on 27th, and 8 today.

15:22	f. RSPB's tier 4 closure of the hide causes tension between people wanting to watch finches & those wanting to scan Ashgrave for geese - would be nice if they lowered part of the fence on the slope to the hide so both could be done without cross-disturbance.
