Patchwatching
29/10/06 Whin Common, Denver Leaders: Simeon
Down the patch at 7:30 again this morning. Autumn's still not over, watch out for those last migrants going and coming! Vis. mig. was clear this morning with 4 Skylarks, 3 Pied Wagtails and 4 Whooper Swans over the common. 7 more Redwings arrived, but several of them had left since I was last there. 5 Bullfinches, 15+ Long - Tailed Tits, 5 Goldcrests, 1 Sparrowhawk, 1 Goshawk, Green and Great - Spotted Woodpecker, 4 Mistle Thrush, 1 Song Thrush and several continental Blackbirds were also of note. 5 Redwings and a Pied Wagtail flew over the house afterwards. Not a bad line up.
