Sunday 10th November 2024

 

Cooler start. Classic mid-November fare with today's migrants including 25 Blackbird, 7 Song Thrush, 6 Chaffinch, 3 Blackcap, 2 Fieldfare, 2 Skylark, 2 Swallow, Brambling, Chiffchaff, Goldcrest, Golden Plover, Redpoll, Redwing, Snow Bunting & Woodcock. 7 Turnstone & 2 Purps were on the point. Heading south 8 Gadwal, 5 Red-throated Diver, 3 Brent, Buzzard, Egyptian Goose & Kestrel (in addition to the 2 regulars). A rare sight was blue sky & sunshine for half an hour late morning - almost forgotten what it looks like over the past couple of overcast weeks we have been enduring !

Ringing: 4 Blackbird, 2 Blackcap, 2 Song Thrush, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Redwing.
