Pittswood Birds

Todays walk into work was mildly more exciting, as there was a passage of WOODPIGEON going south. In the half hour it took me to walk to work, I counted over 1000 birds, in groups of 50 - 300. The afternoon was a case of enforced garden watching.I was awaiting a delivery. In two hours only 13 species visited the feeders, with such noteable exceptions as Starling and Blackbird. I have only had singles of the latter on 3 dates in October. One good thing - the Sparrowhawk didn't visit, if it stays away for any length of time the garden can get really busy.
