Thrush movements

An hour looking over the landfill from 09:15 was quite busy, 2 Lesser Redpoll perched on the wires, 1 Siskin heard over, 2 Meadow Pipit, 4 Skylark, 2 Mistle Thrush NE, 3-4 more that might even have been Fieldfare to the East.

Redwing flocks were coming thru, 75+35+40+25, all pretty much over the middle and far landfill heading SW, or West.

A few other LBJ's, then marking the 90th species for October, a very distant fast moving flock of about 33 Golden Plover headed West over the A4 area. This is 6 out of the last 7 years we have had Goldies over in October, so I suspect it may have always happened, but we didn't spend time looking from the car park to see them miles away.

A lone Chiffchaff called behind me.
