A typical October selection. The annual influx of Thrushes, Robins, Coal Tits, Short-eared Owls, Goldcrests , Woodcock and Treecreepers is well advanced now. A few scarce birds mixed in with them but the wet and windy weather makes finding them difficult.
Northern Treecreepers, Northern Bullfinches and Continental Coal Tits mixed in with our normal British Race birds. The only candidates I saw this year were a pair of Bullfinches. The female showing a typical saw-edged white wing bar on its upper edge. The pair immediately striking to look at and very chunky, however, I don't think I saw enough to claim them as definite 'northern' race.
