Yesterday 6 COMMON CROSSBILLS flew over, calling, at Ruffett Wood at Canons Farm near Banstead at 5.02pm. There was nothing else out of the ordinary present but the expected, and pleasant, supporting cast included a NUTHATCH, a TREECREEPER, 2 juv SWALLOWS and 5 YELLOWHAMMERS including 3 males. An adult BLACK-HEADED GULL flying overheard was also noteworthy. There was a large flock of STARLINGS moulting from juvenile to 1st winter plumage near the derelict barns.
Today a GREEN WOODPECKER flew from Banstead Downs to Downs Road then to Pelton Avenue; not the sort of bird that usually strays that far into Belmont. Also 1+ PEREGRINE was present on the Reed building near Sutton Station.
