South Sawbridgeworth patch count Mon 8th

inspired by Graeme Smith's Redstart at Stortford Park yesterday I did my patch today. Hard work in the afternoon, with birds keeping to the middle of bushes.

Patch is the bounded by the allotments on Southbrook at the north, Pishiobury Park at the west, Feakes Lock to the south and the railway line to the north. Occasionally I wander outside these bounds and today I went east up across the railway line and up toward Sheering.
