Are you inland pianoman: ?Yellow Wagtail and Northern Wheatear for me. Both at the same time during an amazing 15-minute "fall" of migrants in my garden one morning about 10 years ago. It has never been repeated, though I keep waiting in hope.

Indeed, I twitched one in a City centre park in Nottingham some years ago.Ring Ouzel, seen and photographed from the bedroom window of my flat in Lambeth on 24 October 2019. It was sheer luck I happened to be looking out there during the few minutes the bird was present (and had the camera to hand to subsequently convince sceptics that it wasn't a Blackbird). Some pics posted in the Gallery and on Flickr, eg this. They do occasionally stop off in gardens on their way to the coast at that time of year, but I was gobsmacked.

Presume you have a garden with trees and shrubs Rob?Rose-coloured Starling and Great Spotted Woodpecker. I live right on the coast with no real woodland within a mile.
