I had better luck with the Corn Buntings though and think I had more than 10 but could have had some Linnet mixed in. As you said big numbers of Jackdaw and Starling but I also had a few Rook's as well on the electricity wires.

I tend to park on the grass verge just after the gates to the rugby club. You can then walk all the way down Moss Lane, along Windle Brook, and the to Sadlers Lane and over to Blind Foot Road if you want. (click the ordnance survey map on the above link)<br /><br />The best place to see the redwing/fieldfare is in the bushes around the sheep paddock which is on the right at the start of Moss Lane. The corn bunting are normally in the hedges after the sharp bend to the left or in the tall trees, but they're difficult to spot when they're not calling/singing. You shouldn't have any trouble finding yellowhammer around there. Good luck, Damian.Emailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447308380399215328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414967248482173649.post-28168463421828115372014-11-13T10:21:12.383+00:002014-11-13T10:21:12.383+00:00Where is Moss lane , is it a good area for getting...Where is Moss lane , is it a good area for getting close to Fieldfares and Redwings?
