What ever happened to the redwing flocks
19th October 15 early morning mid section
dull & o/cast, 8-11°c, 1025mb, N 4 mph
Under very similar weather conditions as the last few days, when good numbers of migrating thrushes have been piling through the country, this morning just 13 redwing flew east over the Barleyfield. Yesterday 169 were logged? There's no logic in birding.
Generally quiet again. Kingfisher,grey heron,nuthatch and the two usual little grebe the only species of interest.
