After a walk through the Paddock, where it appeared that there was little around, we decided to stand at the vis. mig, point and watch for any overhead movement. There seemed to be a steady movement of finches NE and in a hour and a half we had 95 Siskins, 32 Linnets, 382 Chaffinches and three Brambling. Other than finches there were two Swallows, four Sand Martins, three Rock Pipits and at 09:45, the bird of the day, a Short-toed Treecreeper flew into a bush next to us and gave excellent views to all present.
