Thursday 30th September 2010 - Evening

17:30 > 18:30
14C Sun then thickening cloud, calm.

A perimeter walk and the notable bird once again was Little Egret with numbers up to 14 birds at least on arrival with small groups heading off East over the next hour or so i'm wondering if there is an even higher peak number earlier. Weather permitting i'll take a look mid-afternoon tomorrow.

The usual two Greens and one Common Sandpiper were still on site as was a single juvenile Kingfisher battering the life out of a tiddler on one of the fishing platforms along the Ouse.

Migrants still head south with a group of 20 or so House Martins tracking the canal to sunnier climes (no not Brentford) while the first winter thrushes were seen with two Redwing, eight days earlier than last years first birds, and a rather shabby Fieldfare over.
