Good Time, Bad Times ...

Two of my favourite vismig species this morning - Starlings in a handful of small groups and a couple of Mistle Thrush. Good times because I like them a lot and bad times because it means we have shifted phase from early-mig into mid-mig already. Maybe both will have bumper years? Chaffinches were going a storm and look to be building to a good peak too. Mipits feel like a spent force.

Maybe missed the best bird of the day while trying to photograph a Heron, but the pictures may have the key. I'm still grilling them. Sadly (and as usual!) camera settings were not in the right place for a flying bird against sky either, but you never know.

Last three days' numbers ...
