Sat 11th Oct @ FS

Three hours at the Priory feeding station from 8 o'clock. Weather = sunny with a gentle SWly breese.

30 birds in all of which 9 were new adults, 14 new imms/juvs & 7 retraps - as follows.

Wren -/-/1, Dunno -/1/-, Robin -/1/2,
Blabi -/1/- (cont?), Sonth -/-/2, Redwi -/1/-,
Goldc 1/-/-, Bluti -/-/1, Greti 1/1/-,
Chaff 1/2/-, Grefi 4/4/1, Goldf 2/2/-,
Bullf -/1/-.

As you can see, the tits were noticeable by their absence. This may have been because the feeders were almost empty. Birds overhead included 8 Redwing, 2 Siskin, a Sky Lark, 2 House Martins & 2 Mipits.
