Other interesting records to report (Not Vismig):
1810hours Sun 18th Sept 2016: Whilst walking along Canal from Station Road.
at least 40/50 Alba Wagtail coming in from the West and heading in the direction of Burton Motorway Services. I presumed going to roost. Also noticed another spot just before Tarn Lane with scores of Chaffinch heading towards the maize, presumed a regular roost.
