Winter thrushes and finches in and over

Despite my later arrival around 10:00 allowing the fog to clear a little, it was quickly evident Redwings were here and moving thru in quite good numbers. First 40+ West, then 35+ at the bottom right of the car park field, around 10 or more Blackbird in their company. Then 25-30 from the left hand car park bushes, then 40 or so more West, plus a 10+ flying about. On top of this 2 flocks of around 20 Meadow Pipit, 3 flocks of around 15 to 20 Chaffinch flew NW. 2-3 Blackcap in the car park field, 1 Chiffchaff and with the fog hanging in the air, just 3-4 Swallows were visible, but heard only a few Pied Wagtails, Nuthatch and Treecreeper.
