Despite my late arrival for my landfill watch, it seems like 09:25 wasn't too bad a time to be out, for a few minutes it seemed quiet, but then flocks of Redwing came thru SW, first 44, then 80+, then another 40+, then 20+ and other small groups, plus my first 16 Fieldfare went thru SW nearer than the Redwing.
There were various small jobs flying about, mostly W, or SW, 9 Skylark over the landfill, 1's and 2's South, then I picked up 2, possibly 3 finches and just managed to pick up the white rumps of Brambling, new for October. I heard Linnet, then scanning further away picked up a large flock of 200-250 Golden Plover, moving back and forth between the A4 and Bowsey Hill, so about 4 miles away. Coincidentally like yesterday's much smaller flock, it was 09:56 again.
Richard WhatsApp'd that 19 Snipe were flushed by a Red Kite on LFGP, so their numbers are building up nicely, keep checking for Jack Snipe guys.
