Fieldfare 22
Redwing 30
Blackbird 20
Lesser Redpoll 1
Siskin 5
Goldfinch 50
Tufted Duck 6 (3 males, 3 females)
It was great to see the cackling Fieldfares and seeping Redwings in the hedge on the western shore today, along with at least 20 Blackbirds. It almost felt like an east coast fall! Also in this area, still good numbers of finches, as well as a roving flock of Long-tailed Tits. Not much on the water though, a minimal build up of Tufted Ducks, but Pochard and Goldeneye are noticable by the absence. Perhaps the arrival of cold northerly winds in the next day or two will bring a few.
