Bramblings



Bramblings - Woodbury Fort.

At least 3 Bramblings feeding with c50+ Chaffinches and c50+ Woodpigeons on fallen Beech masts this afternoon. Hopefully signaling a good autumn/winter for them. Also on Woodbury Common  - 5 Crossbills and 3 Goosanders over (towards Blackhill Quarry). A nice autumnal walk with Lu.

Another short Orcombe visit this morning. It felt more like a cool, grey early winter's day and the birds were in suitably short supply. Best were at least 4 Lapwings and 3 Firecrests. Also - 2 Cirl Buntings, 20+ Robins, 1+ Goldcrest, 4+ Song Thrushes, 20 Starlings, 2 Chiffchaffs, 1 Grey Wagtail, 3 Meadow Pipits, 11+ Pied Wagtails, 3 Stonechats, 2 Chaffinches and the Red-legged Partridge
Mudbank - c195 Pintail, 560+ Dark-bellied Brent Geese and 1 Grey Plover.
Wright's Lane - 2 Mistle Thrushes, 14+ Redwings and 2 Redpolls over. Also 2 Firecrests.
