This morning at St M. the 2 Firecrests were still present,though proving somewhat elusive for the steady trickle of birders. Yellow browed Warblers were also still evident ,with 3 , possibly 4 seen and heard well. A migrating flock of 16 Tree Sparrows was quite unusual for the site ,although an annual occurance in autumn. 2 Brambling , a Blackcap,6 Robins and a Redstart seen in the trees and bushes, and a few Goldcrests and Chiffchaffs noted.
In the fields at least 120 Skylarks, 300+Linnets and 150 Meadow Pipits present,with the larks continuing to sing on and off. A juv. Wheatear perched on a fence and strangely, 3 Pintail fed in the middle of a harvested field. 14 Reed Buntings here too.
