First redpoll of the season
A cold but sunny start to the day on the fence check.
As I walked along the river footpath, a loose group of 18 cormorant flew
overhead on their way south.
Yesterday, the first lesser redpolls of the autumn
were noted feeding in the alder trees along the river footpath with a mixed
finch and tit flock, consisting of goldfinch, siskin, chaffinch, long-tailed
tit, blue tit, great tit and coal tit.
