Near Banstead Downs, at Belmont Pastures this afternoon there was a decent variety of common birds noted considering the site and time of day. I saw more variety than I usually do at the Downs because it doesn't take nearly as long to get there.
The highlight was 3 SONG THRUSHES. 2 sang and showed and the other flew through, calling. Going along with the theme of Thrushes, 1 Fieldfare/Mistle Thrush flew distantly past seen with the naked eye only and 1 MISTLE THRUSH was heard alarm calling at the north end. 3 BLACKBIRDS were noted.
2 DUNNOCKS sang and c.4 WRENS were logged. c.5 ROBINS were active.
4 BLUE TITS, 2 GREAT TITS and 1 LONG-TAILED TIT were noted. 10-15 WOODPIGEONS were present as were 2+ CARRION CROWS (with another 2 flying over).
17 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS flew over (a flock of 10, then 6, then 1) in a roughly easterly direction.

Next door, this am at Belmont Park a PIED WAGTAIL was feeding along the concrete path there and c.5 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS flew over then also.
