Dave and I did our best, but today could best be described as quiet. The highlight came a few minutes after we had started, when two Redpolls (the first of the autumn) flew south west. There was a trickle of Redwings (60 in total), and a handful of Meadow Pipits and Chaffinches heading south-west.
A Chiffchaff sang, and the Stonechat was still present. We later found another one, this time an adult male.
We chose to walk along the road for a change, and this tactic allowed us to find several Goldcrests and three Nuthatches. Back in the fields though, it was all a bit similar to previous visits. The pool and flash were virtually birdless.
The warm weather produced a few insects on the wing, including a Small Tortoiseshell, a Hornet, and three Common Darters.
