4 Nov - A beautiful calm, slightly misty, late autumnal morning, and a lot of bird activity first thing - wary Fieldfares and Redwings diving into berry-laden Hawthorns, a pair of Stonechats calling and feeding, a couple of Reed Buntings with a few Goldfinches, a Grey Wagtail, and a passage of Meadow Pipits with Skylarks. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a lovely day to be out, and I always find it satisfying with the turn of the seasons to see good numbers of winter Thrushes arrive.
