On an extremely hot October day, a twenty six kilometre saunter on my bike turned up thirty three species of birds (the owls revealed themselves during the evening). I've not done a list for while so here's one, but in no particular order except that non-passerines come first.
Perhaps just as interesting are the species which didn't show up but were around a similar area on the previous day. These include mistle thrush, chiffchaff, linnet and long-tailed tit.
Song thrushes have not been around for a while but there appears to have been a influx yesterday.
No sign of the cranes yet.
