Wet Blakehill

11 Oct - a couple of recent trips to Blakehill succeeded in dodging the rain - fairly quiet. An ongoing passage of Meadow Pipits with a few Skylarks, and Stonechats appearing fairly regularly - 2 females on the latest visit. Hopefully some will stay for the winter. A lack of easterlies so far this autumn means a scattering of Redwings only, with no Fieldfares so far. Ravens seem fairly prominent at the moment, with some autumn display going on.
