A good sign of migration!

30/9/06 Bates Wood and Whin Common, Denver Leaders: Simeon
Early morning at the patch was really worth it. Vis. Mig. from the style gave me 2 Mistle Thrush, 20+ Redwing, 4+ Song Thrush, 10 Swallow, 5 House Martin, 1 Sand Martin, 4 Meadow Pipits and 2 Pied Wagtails. Migration was picking up now so I decided to go to the corner of the Common to check out the numerous tit flocks. This resulted in 3 Goldcrests, a Yellow - Browed Warbler, 35+ Long - Tailed Tit, 20+ Blue Tit, 15+ Great Tit, 3+ Coal Tit, 1 Nuthatch, 1 Treecreeper, 3 Bullfinch, 4 Blackcap, 1 Chiffchaff, 3 Great - Spotted Woodpecker and 1 Green Woodpecker! It had been a great morning! I was definately coming back tomorrow!
