Blunderston Lanes

Last night it was obvious that birds were flying into the country. I was able to identify REDWING, BLACKBIRD and ROBIN. The robin was the first for this method for me. So followed up on this and headed for an area that these birds seem to frequent. Sure enough the hunch paid of with the best being a flock of 4 BRAMBLING  but add to this another which I saw earlier. These birds were very flitty hence the distant pic of a female. I also had about 30  REDWING along one track and 7 SONG THRUSH. Was not able to get a clear on a ring ouzel but at least 10 BLACKBIRD. KESTREL 1, GOLDFINCH, WREN, ROBIN, Also a flock of 10 SKYLARK flew over very tired as if from nowhere a CARRION CROW flew into the flock and grabbed a lark in its claws and then transferred it to his beak still in flight flew of to the marsh. Never seen this before and compared to the Merlin at the Bill that could not catch one.
It was obvious as well that CROWS and ROOKS were sorting themeslves out before the big winter roost.
Still over 30 COMMON DARTER about, RED ADMIRAL 2, SPECKELED WOOD 2, and the best was this worn WALL BROWN.
