Lee Mount and Wainstalls/Cold Edge

Lee Mount - 2 different Common Buzzards at different times mid morning both >SE. 
Also quite a surprise to see 2 small birds in the shrubs this morning (thinking Yellow-browed Warbler !!!) got the 'bin's in them quickly - turned out to be  2 Goldcrests together. Scarce birds here !

Fields at Wainstalls (Hunter Hill) produced a flock of c60 Meadow Pipits but not much else. Similar return from Cold Edge but we did find 7 Stonechats in total (groups of 4 and 3) and 2 Kestrels and 7 Moorhen.
