Cirl, Woodpigs

Cirl Bunting. Easy to keep track of as it never stopped calling.

Selected Orcombe totals - 90+ Woodpigeons, heading west, represented the first bit of movement for me this autumn. Additionally - 18 Stock Doves, 3 Swallows, 1 Cirl Bunting, 13 Stonechats, 2 Reed Buntings, 1 Bullfinch, 150+ Goldfinches, c55 Chaffinches, 18+ Greenfinches, 29+ Long-tailed Tits (in 3 flocks), 1 Snipe, 1 Little Egret, 2 Grey Wagtails, 20+ Pied Wagtails, 7 Song Thrushes, 9 Blackbirds, 26+ Robins, 5+ Goldcrests, 3 Chiffchaffs, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 30+ Meadow Pipits, 30 Jackdaws, 1 Kestrel, 6+ Siskins, 3 Rock Pipits, 1 Ring-necked Parakeet, and small numbers of (uncounted) Linnets and Skylarks.
Nearby, a srtroll round Maer Valley produced 5 Goldcrests, 3 Chiffchaffs, 1 Mistle Thrush, 7 Redwings, c70 Jackdaws, 7 Stock Doves, 10 Chaffinches and 4 Ring-necked Parakeets.
Very little counted off Mudbank but 6 Mediterranean Gulls and a Red-breasted Merganser were of note. Also - 18 Redshank, 2 Dunlin, 5 Greenshank, 46 Black-tailed Godwits and 17 Turnstones. Also, a flock of 14 Greenfinches at West Lodge.
