It's been a busy weekend of Patch-bashing.
Dodgy Accentors aside, I've been putting in the effort in the hope that something of all the October Glory would filter my way. Results were present if not epic and nothing brilliant sat put to photo [which was most vexing; if 'skulky' sibes will stay put for crowds of camera-toting bods, then why couldn't one quiet chap score something much less CMF, eh?]
Not to say I didn't get the odd picture, as you will see...
Friday morning saw the best vismigging, with a Woodlark over amongst a movement of Skylarks, a Grey Heron in/off [!] and a Swallow off/out the highlights among large numbers of Goldfinches, Mipits and alba Wagtails.
Saturday had another brush with the local YBW [I'll get it eventually!]. The Nose was very quiet, with the only bird of note a Bonxie hanging around a passing trawler.
Sunday had some passage again, with Siskin joining the Goldfinches, Mipits, and alba Wags. Offshore - well, quite close inshore - a large number of gulls around the remains of the overnight slick were accompanied by a Little Gull, sadly this was flushed by a couple of [BLEEP] kyakers - who seemed to be doing their best to annoy all the gulls around the Lead Stone - before I could get more than a very distant look at it.
Now for pics!
