8th October

At Kirbest Mire 3 jack snipe were seen, and 188 snipe logged is the highest total so far this autumn. A chiffchaff was in Holland and just singles of redwing, song thrush and fielfare were noted. Yet again a HORNEMAN'S ARCTIC REDPOLL was seen, this time over at Hooking with 2 rostrata common redpolls, and makes you wonder just how many individuals have been involved here so far this October!?
