Wednesday 23rd October

Time against me on today's bike ride, so did not find much time for investigation. However there were as always these days goldfinches and several buzzards, plus a couple of sizeable starling roosts in spite of the early time of day and a swan sitting by what was basically a large puddle.  But the most interesting thing I spotted was a group of grey wagtails picking stuff off up the road.  Pied wagtails are always doing this, but this is the first time I've seen greys doing it.
