9th October

Bird of the day was a frustratingly brief view of a red-breasted flycatcher type at the Surgery, with a common redpoll there too. A male hen harrier was floating around, the yellow browed warbler was still at Bridesness and 4 jack snipe were in Kirbest Mire. A robin, 6 redwing, 2 chiffchaff and a fieldfare were in Holland.
