Hundreds if not thousands of winter thrushes flying north over the marshes were the most I have seen this autumn. Mostly Fieldfares with a slightly smaller number of Redwings. Also a few Song Thrushes, Woodpigeons and a small flock of Skylarks, including one in full song. The bushes also held good numbers of thrushes together with at least 5 Bullfinches, one Brambling and a single Chiffchaff.
Elsewhere on the marshes James Diamond reported one Ring Ousel (with thrush flock), 2 Spotted Redshanks and 3 Water Pipits.
