Fieldfares

Autumn is over at Fowlmere! Nothing of note at all found. No Wheatears, Ring Ouzels, Redstarts or anything. This morning the heard only Cetti’'s Warbler was the only Warbler, and all the hirrundines seem to have gone.

But the northerly winds that finished it did at least produce an excellent movement of Fieldfare to rival last week’s Redwing and Song Thrush movement. At least four hundred went west in one hour first thing, with a couple of flocks of over one hundred.

More were seen later at Shepreth L-moor along with a good number of Redwings.
