Therfield Heath was very quiet. Despite slogging around for about two hours I couldn't manage any more than a Buzzard. No winter thrushes, despite reports from elsewhere.
Driving home, about three hundred Black-headed Gulls were following two tractors in Foxton along with a handful of Common Gulls and Lesser Black-backed Gulls. A large flock (over five hundred?) of Golden Plover also flew over distantly to the north.
Fowlmere at dusk held two Common Snipes (but no Jack) and two Tawny Owls (one seen well.)
