The rain had brought in 180 Redwings which were excitedly chattering in the mature Poplars at the southern end of the meadow before re-locating to a central hedge, became very silent then all took to the air and headed off east north east gaining height 'seeping' as they went.
A passage of large gulls mostly Lesser Black Backs with fewer Herrings were heading north-east not the usual flight line taken to the Grafham roost and so were likely to be on the move.
Otherwise a couple of Teal, 3 Chiffchaffs, 4 Reed Buntings and 2 squealing Water Rails were about it.
