08/10/2026 07:00 to 10:50

A decent morning with three Dunlin flying in at 8am but only stopping for 20 minutes. Then a movement of Pink-footed Geese with three skeins heading east and one skein going south west, 319 birds in total and looking good against a blue sky.

At least 5 Jay, four of which were watched flying west up Coombes Dale so presumably new birds.

Duck numbers about the same although I only counted 97 Teal but the duck were flightly and flew up several times and it looked like some may have left so it will be an interesting count tomorrow. 5 Pintail and 4 Wigeon, 45 Shoveler and 15 Mallard is still a decent count.
