Morston - 4th November 2024

The promise of thrushes and finches arriving from the continent failed to materialise at Morston today. The wind was low and despite having nets up for a variety of species only 17 birds of 4 species were caught, many of those being a tit flock that, at 11:40am, saved the time spent resulting in only 5 birds with 4 being Dunnocks.

Marsh Harriers, Buzzard, Red Kite and Kestrel were seen.

This juvenile Blue Tit, although difficult to see on this image, was 
moulting the greater coverts out of sequence.



Total: 17

Blue Tit - 5
Dunnock - 4
Long-tailed Tit - 7
Robin - 1
