First autumn frost

It was darn chilly when I went out around 08:45, a light frost on the car park fields shady parts. A bit of activity in the skies, a few Meadow Pipits, 2 Skylark, 7-8 Blackbird in the scrub left of Lea Farm, 2-3 Blackcap and 3+ Chiffchaff in the car park field.

I heard Green Sandpiper, a Mistle Thrush distantly over LFGP, 5+ Song Thrush flying around.

At Teal Hide a Water Rail called, a Grey Heron caught a vole.

At LFGP, 3 then 2 more Skylark, 5 House Martin, 1 Swallow over, Grey Wagtail in front of the hide, the Green Sandpiper in the NE corner. The SW corner was packed with Shoveler and Wigeon, but not much else.

A one minute look over Sandford and another Water Rail near the hide + 1 Pochard.
