After a dentist appointment I managed some birding on the patch; best were my first Redwing of the autumn, with 54 (3 + 16 + 6 +29) heading in a westerly direction. Always nice to have these back.
Other stuff included the first Redshank for a while on Mons Pool and 2 Common Sands on Ferry Lane Lake; the gull roost here hosted 5 adult Yellow-legged Gulls, but I gave up due to driving rain... No skuas though.
Back in Newark, and there were a few more Redwing over my street just after 6pm, with another overhead just now when I stuck my head out of the front door (8.20pm). With others being reported across the county, it looks like they're arriving back en masse.
