Monday 3rd November
A grey and blustery morning. Decided to give Kingfisher Bridge a visit as it had been a while since I was last there. Parked by the gravel works so that I could check out the hedgerow for winter thrushes. A few Redwing were passing over but it wasn't until I was on the far side that I spotted a significant number of Fieldfare.
Greylag Goose were flighting in and out of the area. On the main water body were a good number of Cormorant (27), Teal (168), Shoveler (24) and three Pintail. I was surprised to see two Common Ringed Plover feeding with a single Snipe. Sadly, just I I got my camera set up they were disturbed by the warden in his buggy!
The walk through the woods on the far side produced a few Chaffinch but little else. Two Red Kite drifted over just as I was leaving.
