10/10.

10/10/10 - and out on the patch by 10 past 10 ! Similar birds around the patch to yesterday, but less of them - 2 Blackcaps, 10 Robins, 13 Goldcrests, 3 Wood Pigeon, 14 Song Thrush, 15 Lapland Buntings, 12 Pink-footed Geese, 5 Wheatears (still hanging on), 2 Siskin, 1 Ring Ouzel (still on the cliffs), 40 Redwing, a Brambling and 3 late Bonxies.
Something of a surprise in the moth trap this morning - an extremely late Map-winged Swift, these normally finish flying in August and the last one in the trap was on August 21st.
