After a quiet couple of days when the only interest concerned singles of
Golden Plover and
Snipe at the Bill on 7th, the 9th saw a little more of note off the back of Storm Goretti, with 50
Redwings north over Osprey Quay, 2 more
Redwings settled at Portland Castle, singles of
Golden Plover,
Woodcock and
Fieldfare at the Bill and a lone
Teal settled off the Bill.
Redwings weren't exactly numerous last autumn and have been all but non-existent so far this winter so more than 50 on 9th was particularly noteworthy © Pete Saunders:
