6th November, 2009.

An early departure to the east coast lured by the possibility of possible migrants and a report of an Olive backed Pipit. Visits to former valued sites fed little other than nostalgia and the day became increasingly disappointing. A few passerines were obviously on the move ( Blackbird, Fieldfare, Redwing, Siskin, Skylark ) and a couple of parties of Whooper Swan totalling around 40, but little else.

The day ended with a return journey with heavy traffic and a flat tyre. Not the best..........
