28th October 2011 Bird Count

Lots of birds, including new winter arrivals.  Crossbills seemed to be everywhere.  Stonechats appeared to have upped and gone.  But Woodlark are still in many places.

36 species, with plenty of gaps.  The numbers were bolstered by Peregrine, Herring gull and Heron.  All seem within a few yards.

Not so many siskins, but masses of Lesser Redpoll, which got very difficult to count reliably as they were flying around a lot.  Similarly the longtail tits, though I must say that I have never seen so many at Old Lodge before.
