25th November
What a contrast to yesterday: shocking weather and lean birding. A day of almost constant rain driven through on a stiff, cold north-easterly saw fieldwork severely curtailed, with precious little evidence of new arrivals on the odd occasions it was possible to venture out. At the Bill 2 Lapwings were new and 2 Black Redstarts, 2 Blackcaps and a Chiffchaff were lingering on from recent days; elsewhere there was another Black Redstart at Blacknor and 8 Pale-bellied Brent Geese at Ferrybridge.
