27th October

Very quiet with hardly any thrushes left. 3 rook flew over in the morning, a black redstart was at Twingness and the jackdaw was seen again. Migrants included 8 woodcock, 4 goldcrest, 7 chiffchaff, 20 robin, a lesser whitethroat and 2 blackcap. A grey plover was on the Links, a collective total of 104 twite is the best for many years and bird of the day went to a goldfinch at Rue.
