Passage migration was in full evidence this am (09.00-11.30) with thousands of birds flying east in the mist/fog. Swallow (2000), Meadow Pipit (1000), Chaffinch (1000), Sky Lark (61), Goldfinch (150), Linnet (90 – JDW had over 1000 just inland), Pied Wagtail (13), Grey Wagtail (4), Siskin (10), Redpoll (2), Crossbill (4), Coal Tit (6), House Martin (2), GS pecker (1), Nuthatch (1, flying out to sea with mipits – very strange!). In the bushes: Chiffchaff (16), Blue Tit (40+), Robin (20+), Collared Dove (3), LT Tit (20) & Greenfinch (10). A really good autumn day’s birding. Although our good weather is now behind us, which reminds me of Kipling’s poem – Over then, come over, for the bee has quit the clover, And your English summer’s done. You get more for your money with the GBC!
