Marek was out for his usual early walk and had this year's first Redpoll, 2 over NE at 07:10. The park year list is now 131, so equal to the low count in 2007.
I was down in the car park field 09:30 and had 2 Coal Tit on the low Hawthorn on the landfill, just 6-7 Meadow Pipit and then a solitary Redwing going North over Lodge Wood, then East along the treeline.
These two added to September's total make it 104 for just the second time, so we have had 3 months with over 100 species, which shows the great diversity of species at the whole site, even without a good flurry of rare and uncommon species.
The spate of large flocks of Meadow Pipit looks to be over, Brian had 200+ on the 28th, but perhaps with the grass cut, the appeal of the landfill may have declined?
