Nothing wanted to get going this morning. Did have a party of perhaps 200 Fieldfare, messing about going up then down from tree to tree, no interest whatsoever in movement.

By the way crap so far yet again this year with the Thrushes or at least up til now. Redwings "ziltch or almost" certainly no four figure days! and so far one good day on F/F's. Maybe if this stuff leaves the North Sea early enough we will get them, but looking on Trek so far theres no much coming down the Netherlands yet!!. Keep you posted.
