A sleepover at a friends near the Cambs border meant I was able to nip over and see the RED-RUMPED SWALLOW at Witcham, near Ely. The bird was hawking insects over Silver Street in the village, showing it's diagnostic jet-black undertail coverts, unmarked white underparts and throat and pale orange rump. A smart bird and another British tick, my fourth in 17 days! A group of 100+ Fieldfares flew over.
Before this a walk at Denver produced 2 Redpolls, 450 Redwings, 20 Fieldfares and a Grey Wagtail.
