Another great day with thousands of birds still across
the island but the easterly wind had risen to at least force 8 making things a
bit tricky in the field, especially with the long spells of rain through the
day; I walked around the Obs and up the west coast with the highlight being a
smart COUE’S
ARCTIC REDPOLL at Nether Linney from
where it flew down into the stubble field.
Migrant
totals in amongst the thousands of Redwings, Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and
Robins included 16 Ring Ouzels, a Black Redstart, 2
Redstarts, a Lesser Whitethroat, 9 Blackcaps, 9 Chiffchaffs, 40 Bramblings, 10
Chaffinches, 3 Siskins, 9 Woodcock, a Jack Snipe, 4 Grey Wagtails, 6 Wheatears
and 2 Snow Buntings.
