Hello Folks,
I thought it might be a good idea to continue the thread theme begun by Mark Andews last Autumn i.e recording the birds passing through the area with particular reference to the cranes (hopefully).
I'm here until 12th Nov and as things stand there are a team of three Dutch birders and one other Brit so I'll update you with their sightings after I've spoken to them.
Last year was an incredible spectacle with cranes passing through in big numbers so we would be fortunate if we had a repeat but we'll do our best.
The weather last night brought high winds and heavy rain but today was craneless. Migration seemed non existant and birds on the ground were hard to find.
Best we could manage today:
Saker 1
Bean Geese 4
Ruddy Shelduck 1
Rustic Buntings 40+
Yellow-throated Bunting 100+
More to follow.
