A quick check at lunchtime found the first Redwing of the season in small parties overhead and flushed from the hedgerows. The overnight fall had also topped up the flood and a flock of 46 Teal swam in a long line till flushed revealling a handful of Wigeon in amongst their number. The Little Gull remains, generally feeding along the fence line in the middle of the horse fields although what it's eating is open to debate as I would imagine few flies are about in the stiff breeze and decidedly colder wind. A Buzzard played in the leading edge of the woodland as it did last night when the aerial count was 86 Redpoll, 158 Lapwing, 8 Snipe,13 Golden Plover and a Kestrel.
