Today saw another wave of thrushes pass over the island, with 448 Redwing, 38 Blackbirds, 5 Fieldfares and another Ring Ouzel logged. It was a good day for finches too, with 596 Chaffinches, 8 Brambling, 63 Goldfinch, 60 Siskin and 2 Hawfinch. 461 Starling added to the Scandinavian flavour. The calm weather encouraged 76 Skylark into the air, along with 5 Red Admiral and 3 Painted Ladies. To the east of the island, the sea continued to churn up some tasty morsels for 220 Gannets, 50 unidentified Auks, and 55 Kittiwakes. 12 Blackcap were beaten to the tally by 13 Woodpigeon. Over at Rocketpole Pond, 3 large Mirror Carp were gazed upon, we can only speculate their age ...
It doesn't get better than a Ring Ouzel
