18th October

Still lots of Redwing about today but not such an obvious northwards movement with many birds feeding around the village. The large area of elderberries and hawthorn in Sanderson’s wood alone held upwards of 200 birds this afternoon.

There were many more Fieldfares coming in today too along with small numbers of Skylarks and Redpoll moving over.

However, despite the cool, grey conditions this Southern Hawker was still actively hunting in the Magic Garden.
