After yesterday's good birds I was out early, visiting Hadham Hall lagoons, hoping for some waders. No such luck, but a party of 11 redwings flew west overhead, the first for autumn. Green and great spotted woodpeckers, 1 goldcrest and good numbers of goldfinches were observed. No birds at all on the large lagoon, first time it has been empty, but plenty of evidence of ploughing and harrowing in adjacent fields.
A buzzard was flushed from an oak, flying off south and several lesser black backed gulls headed north.
A field near Clintons, Bury Green is holding good numbers of gulls at present and a trip there this afternoon is planned. From drive by viewing, I suspect 45 LBBG's and about 3 GBBG's but worth a check for anything more unusual.
