Tuesday 15th October

Another very wet, drizzly start to the day, not at all very pleasant, but nevertheless a conservative count of 20 Redwings were noted, that in one hour alone, which I suspect is part of a nationwide influx of birds from Scandinavia. The other highlight was seeing a Treecreeper on the footpath up Pelling's Farm Close in poor light conditions.

Meadow Pipits were not far behind, with 18 noted in the same hour, and Siskins were but poorly represented with just 4 individuals seen. A Pied Wagtail also flew over.

With the weather forecast looking little better for tomorrow, it looks like the birding will remain a little washed out!
