Tuesday 5th November

A quiet day, and I was unable to get out for long in the morning, meaning that all totals are from the afternoon and late evening only. All the same, hopefully I will be able to spend longer outside in the coming weeks, weather permitting, of course. A Pied Wagtail flew over, possibly two, and also we had 7 Redwings, a number which I would have thought was quite good had it not been for the recent three-figure counts. The most numerous bird of the day, however, was the Meadow Pipit. I only saw 19 this afternoon, but I have no doubt that more flew through during the evening, although I was not able to stay out long enough. All in all, a good day, and with some more northerly winds forecast, we should have some more.
