I was back up to Surrey for the third time this week to lead the CFBWBG's Autumn Migration Tour. It was quieter than we might have hoped, but a showy
Whinchat at Reads Bottom and an overhead push of
House Martins and the odd
Swallow saved the day and made it an enjoyable outing for the 14 participants. A couple of
Meadow Pipits flew over the farm and in Banstead Woods we enjoyed the sounds of
Nuthatches,
Coal Tits,
Goldcrests,
Treecreepers and
Bullfinch but none played ball and showed for the crowd!
