Walk was in bright sunshine but very little on view. Rather a chill in the air, but well covered up.
Corton Sewer Works: A SPARROW HAWK came over soon after getting out of the car and headed well over the fields. Some CROWS and 3 BLACKBIRDS eating blackberries. WREN, GREAT TIT and BLUE TIT. An obliging HEDGE SPARROW who was very upset at being molested. Other than that a JAY.
Ness Point: Was more promising with three flocks of late moving ARCTIC TERNS. The first held 3 birds and the 5 and then 2. I am not sure as it was well of but I think there was a kittiwake flying north to against the wind. I also had 1 BRENT GOOSE north and three CORMORANT. Several GANNETS well out at sea with a closer young one heading north.
Home: Flock of about 12 TEAL flew high over the house this morning and it seems we might well have a resident BLACKBIRD now for the winter.
