September 28th 2008

Both the pond and the valley were shrouded in fog so we worked Napton on the Hill which due to its elevation was bathed in sunshine and clear. Most productive area was the churchyard which had Spotted Flycatcher 4, Chiffchaff 2 and Song Thrush 10 while the quarry had Willow Tit and Swallow 2, Redwing and more Song Thrushes went over.
Brandon Marsh had Black-tailed Godwit, Snipe 50, Swallow 2, Whitethroat, Nuthatch, Kingfisher, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Siskin 20 and Buzzards 8 but we missed the Spotted Redshank which had been present earlier. Spent some time on Lawford Heath watching Meadow Pipits heading south and met up with the bumbling bears.
