17/18th Oct

Wed - a short wander in the late morning after family duties produced a noisy Water Rail in the crescent that liked the sound of its own voice. Fresh in, I shouldn't wonder! Not much else; 16 Cormorant, 13 GCGs, 6 Shoveler and some Bullfinches was about it. Weather was lovely.
Thur - decided to put a couple of nets up from noon 'til teatime. Hereabouts. a singing Chiff was pleasing, plenty of Goldfinch still (at least 20), some Redwings busy blogging. Totals - Gt.Tit 5 (+4), Blue Tit 1 (1), Wren (1), Robin 1, Greenfinch 3, Redwing 2, Blackbird 2, Treecreeper 1.
DK had a Blackcap 18th and says that the Egrets are coming in every night at present. There was a R-C Pochard on the main lake early this morning, too.
