Poor visibility until about 9am when the mist cleared. There was a small movement of thrushes and finches which included our first Fieldfare of the autumn, which obligingly landed on top of a tree for us. At least 73 Redwing passed through with several Siskin and a Lesser Redpoll.

Fieldfare

Mid-morning three Golden Plover flew east followed by another 33 which landed on the shoreline after doing several circuits of the lagoon.


Golden Plover

Waterfowl were much the same with 3 Pintail, 4 Wigeon and 9 Gadwall but Teal numbers have declined slightly down to 62 but there are still 47 Shoveler with males starting to come in to breeding plumage.
