October 21st 2010

Out to a very cold Wormleighton Reservoir where 2 Tawny Owls were roosting at the back of the reservoir, my first Jack Snipe of autumn and Kingfisher while the nearby hedgerow held 11 Tree Sparrow, 3 Corn Bunting, 2 Marsh Tit and overhead 40 Redwing, 160 Fieldfare, 3 Buzzard and 2 Raven went over.
As the morning warmed up a steady stream of migrants went over Burton Dassett Hills and recorded 560 Fieldfare, 80 Redwing, 45 Skylark, 3 Siskin and Brambling plus many others not identified. Also seen were Sparrowhawk, 2 Raven and 4 Buzzard.
