More typical October passage this morning.

Some jackdaws: One NW over Wild Marsh East at 8.20am, 15 high W over WMWest at 8.30, one S over WMEast at 9.12, 4 high E over WMWest at 9.41 and 4 high SE over WMWest at 9.46 (same as earlier ones?)

Siskins: one calling over WMEast at 8.18, another calling over the towpath at 9.43 – neither seen.

11 redwing S over WMWest at 9.06 and skylark calling over WMWest at 9.23 – not seen.

Also 3 fieldfares in the trees north of Pond which flew off west and ring-necked parakeet heard calling again at Clendish Marsh – again not seen. Finally the unusual sight of 4 shoveler flying high SE over WMWest (towards the Lockwood Res) at 9.45. Still no stonechats.
