I had an early afternoon walk from Wortley Hall and was surprised to find a very large Greenfinch group of c250 birds feeding on a crop patch on farmland along the track going NE from the hall. They were quite flighty and dispersed to nearby trees when disturbed by walkers etc.
Also seen were c300 Redwing, 15 Goldfinch, 2+ Song Thrush, 9 Mistle Thrush, Blackcap, 5 Goldcrest, 206 Mallard (in field), 8 Skylark, 3 Yellowhammer, 330 Woodpigeon east, c50 Chaffinch, 2 Buzzard, 6 Blackbird, c50 Fieldfare + plenty of game birds.
