My latest sightings: As autumn fizzled out into winter numbers of common migrants, particularly Goldcrests, remained low. Probably the best 2 days of the autumn in terms of numbers were the 30th and 31st October and I managed 5 Woodcocks, 2 Short-eared Owls, 1 Jack Snipe, 4 Shorelarks, 1 Ring Ouzel, 2 Bearded Tits, 1 Crossbill and 3 Bewick's Swans at Holme, as well as 916 Blackbirds and 11724 Starlings on the 31st. A Great Grey Shrike at Dersingham Bog and a Hen Harrier at Roydon seem to lend support to the theory we are now firmly into winter...
