Monday 21st October

Friday was little short of a washout, and I did no birding to speak of. However, this morning, in the rain, astonishingly, I counted no less that 67 Redwings migrating over, forming a clearly live running from Pelling's Farm Close on the one hand to Luxford Road (Montargis) on the other. This is the highest count this autumn so far. Meadow Pipits were vastly outnumbered - I only noted 2 this morning. As for anything else, there has been nothing so far (17:00) but the rain does not appear to be close to stopping in the near future.
