Low cloud and drizzle overnight, and early this morning, had grounded hundreds of Redwing, I recorded 490 but it could have been many times that number. With them at least 11 Fieldfare and 16 Blackbirds whilst finch flocks in the bushes included 7 Siskin and at least 2 Brambling.
As the cloud lifted and the rain eased the thrushes took to the air, heading off westwards, leaving the bushes and trees largely empty.
The lagoons were similar to yesterday and a higher Teal count of 169 may just have been a better count, I could only find 4 Pintail and 3 Wigeon today.
