Today was dry, but cloudy, and the numbers of
Redwings just collapsed from the incredible numbers of the last two days. I could only count 25 today, and numbers of other birds were equally low, reflecting, I presume, the poor weather for migration. I noted 11
Siskins, and
Meadow Pipits were present in exactly the same numbers, or at least those I heard. I noted 7 migrating
Goldfinches, as well as a single
Chiffchaff, and a single
Pied Wagtail which flew over. I wonder whether we will see some Black Redstarts around, given the large numbers heading inland recently.
