Gales gusting up to Force 9 are not conducive to easy birding. This didn't prevent 1,101 Woodies & 31 Stock Dove moving south. Worth a mention are 3 Swallow south, Little Egret, Marsh Harrier & Stonechat plus some lingering crests from recent days. A Wheatear was our first since 3rd October.
Moth trapping a waste of time. A tatty Common Blue is still lingering at the northern end of the reserve.
Ringing: 1 Blackbird, 1 Goldfinch, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Wood Pigeon.
