Spotted Flycatcher, heard only Tree Pipit, 40 Meadow Pipit heading N & large numbers of hirundines moving S until the cloud cleared off this morning. Whinchat, Cettis, a different Spot Fly & Stonechat also seen by others

Spotted Flycatcher and a small movement of pipits and swallows today

Stonechat, Spotted Flycatcher, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Willow Warbler and several more Hirundines today’s highlights

Slightly annoyed I couldn’t go for the Desert Wheatear out in Kent but a few nice bits of autumn migration on Parliament Hill anyways: Skylarks, 3 Pochard (my 3rd record), Redpoll, Siskins, Pipits and the long staying Cetti’s warbler

6-8 Brambling, 150 Redwing, 2 Skylark N, 5 Meadow Pipit, 15 Chaffinch & 70 Goldfinch Parliament hill this morning

Several hundred starling moving NW over Parliament Hill this morning plus 2 Redpoll S, 12 Siskin N, Brambling N, 70 Chaffinch, 60 Redwing & a meadow pipit. Still a fairly slow autumn....

70 Fieldfare, 150 Redwing, Brambling, 100+ Chaffinch, 30 Siskin, 2 Redpoll, 4 Meadow Pipit & a single flock of 200+ thrushes (or starling) too far out to ID from Parliament hill this morning

Easily the best bird this autumn! (not my find). Had taken a bit of a break from birding so wasn’t expecting to see anything like this for a while...

Birding kinda fell apart after September this year but still managed a decent year with 90 something species locally & 166 overall with White Tailed Eagle, Glossy Ibis and self-found Grasshopper Warbler & Black Redstart among the highlights,

February wasn’t too bad for birding... (and snakes)

A decent bit of migration in today with the first few Wheatears of the year found by Reuben Braddock & this early Tree Pipit on Hampstead Heath today

Birding in the UK doesn’t get much better than this...

A solid two days of migration on Hampstead Heath which has included Pied Flycatcher, 5 Common Redstart, 4 Tree Pipit & 2 Spot Fly personally. Overall we had 8 Redstart all together yesterday!

2 Little Gull from Brighton Marina this morning,

Plenty of raptors up on Ditchling Beacon just now including male Hen Harrier, Peregrine & 4 Red Kite Sussex Birding

Whimbrel flying south over Hampstead Heath tonight! A nice new patch bird (110) on my first day back from uni! London Bird Club
