2nd November 2015

A calm, but foggy day which restricted birding possibilities.

Thornwick Pool hosted a juvenile Whooper Swan, nine Teal, a Grey Heron, one Water Rail, a Greenshank and 12 Snipe. Pink-footed Geese were heard passing overhead in the fog. Passerine migrants included six Goldcrest, a Chiffchaff, 34 Blackbirds, six Fieldfare and 11 Redwing.
