22 Oct Lodmoor

I snuck out at 7:30 am for an hour and a half. It was frustrating, as there were birds going over and some of the hedgerows were rammed, but I felt at the limits of my abilities here. Did I eke a good list out of a poor day? Or blunder round in blissful ignorance of the jewels on offer?

Highlights:

Blackbird C50!
Wigeon; 6 & 3
Black Tailed Godwit 3
Dunlin 2
Snipe 1
Lapwing c20
Sparrowhawk 1
Skylark
Meadow Pipit
Stonechat 3
Bearded Reedling. Lots of pinging in two places, and scuttling through the reeds. 1 seen. Cetti’s Warbler 3.
Goldcrest 2.
