Early October

 Still plenty Red Admirals in the garden with a single Comma and the odd Speckled Wood, a good move of Pink footed geese in the last few days with  at least 500 + heading east in 5 skiens...loads of Meadow Pipits have been heading south with some decent flocks of 20 + ,Swallows still moving and small flocks of Goldfinch. A group of 11 Mistle Thrush came in from the east and headed south west  with one single Redwing in with them was interseting/early  . Sparrowhawks and Bussards seen daily .  A trip up to Lower Walshaw ,was generally quiet but HH , Merlin , Sparrowhawk and great views of hunting Barn Owl made it worth while. One female Widgeon dropped into Ringstone briefly...
