Weather: SE force 3 drizzle at first
A grey start to the day with drizzle kept the Barn Owl from its normal routine.
Five Redwings dropped in early on however, and 4 Skylarks passed through during the day. As mentioned previously finches have been scarce this autumn, 26 island Linnets were joined today by a Siskin that passed through low down going south and a confiding Chaffinch on the ground.
Four male Blackbirds were present.
and at least 4 Rock Pipits.
Early afternoon a Goldcrest was found feeding in Telegraph House east garden.
There were 7 Little Egrets and 4 Grey Herons, some of the herons scoured the island for voles as they have been doing during this period of plenty.
A Raven patrolled the west side of the island. Brent were estimated at 210, Shelduck counted at 325 and Curlew were also impressive at 530.
