Quiet again as winter sets in proper. A dozen Lesser Redpoll were the main characters in the ringing today, with a couple of Chaffinches, a Blackbird and a Song Thrush thrown in for good measure. Raptors were well represented by Peregrine, Merlin, Kestrel and A Sprawk. A few finchy things heading South along with the odd Pied Wagtail and Meadow Pipit. A Water Rail was again calling from the same bit of scrub and again could not be lured out to acquire a ring. Offshore were single figures of Brents, the usual flyby cormorants and still the odd Lesser Black-backed and Med Gull.
