MISTLE THRUSH still Belmont Park. Another MISTLE THRUSH flew over my school while I was playing football.

On the way to school today I picked up a YELLOW WAGTAIL that flew roughly north/north east over Hulverstone Close. Also on the way to school a MISTLE THRUSH was at Belmont Park.
In my Belmont garden a BLACKCAP was singing and one of the resident COAL TITS was calling away as usual in the early morning.
On the way back from school, via Sutton, the male PEREGRINE was on the Reed Building.

At the Downs today, the first CHIFFCHAFF of the year was calling at the bike track (this must be a migrant fresh in, as I have not seen any there this winter), 3+ BULLFINCHES were present and a ROSE-RINGED PARAKEET flew over. Singles of GREAT SPOTTED and GREEN WOODPECKERS were present, singles of both GOLDFINCH and GREENFINCH flew over. 3+ JAYS were present and an unknown, but not very large, number of JACKDAWS flew over. 3 REDWINGS were at the bike track.
Nearby, at Belmont Park, a MISTLE THRUSH was present and 5 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS flew over.

2 FIRECRESTS showed well together along the wooded footpath, just before post '3' from just before 4pm to 4.20pm or so. Also 1 REDPOLL sp. flew over there. A GOLDCREST called from an isolated conifer at the bike track (this being a Banstead Downs year tick) and a BULLFINCH flew over, calling, at the main site between the railway and Sutton Lane. At least two ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS were heard, but not seen, flying over the golf course as I arrived.
I met a very entertaining and pleasant man called Brendan whol finally connected with the birds after something like his 3rd or 4th attempt. He reported seeing a BLACKCAP near where the Firecrests were showing, a couple of weeks ago.
At Belmont Park this morning, on the way to school, I enjoyed excellent views of a female SPARROWHAWK as it sat at relatively close range on an isolated twig between bouts of trying to get at something that was hiding in a clump of holly. Possibly the best views I have had of a Sparrowhawk, my favourite raptor.
