Morning visit to Amwell in bright conditions and, at last, some sun. A peregrine was noted, high above 3 buzzards but no sign of the redpolls or marsh tits at the feeder. A sparrowhawk had whizzed through just before I arrived so, consequently, most birds were hiding.
A bearded tit had been reported at the viewing point and after 15 minutes was seen on several occasions, flitting from one reedbed to the next. Apart from the regular residents there was not too much about. 20+ siskins in the alders and a distant female goldeneye were other highlights.

Year listers; sparrow hawk, bearded tit, siskin, peregrine. This takes my total for 2014 to 93 species.
