Strangely today I had no Fieldfare sightings at all over Queensbury even though a call from HC/DCB and a text from DJS reported heavy movements. Obviously the birds were coming in from a different area on a different flight path which took them to the north of the village unlike yesterdays birds which came through on a broader front.
A flock of 18 Redwing came over early morning >S fast and low and that was about it for the day.
Common gulls on the park this morning gave a record count for this autumn of 48.
