16th Oct - cloudy am, sunny spells later, 14C, light W

A busy day but a quick look around.

Willey; a quick look at the feed station after lunch, now 2 Tree Sparrows present - hopefully numbers will build.  Greenfinch and Goldfinch and Coal Tit were also present.  
A few more Redwing were around today, with some small scale movement SW.
A butterfly flew passed, probably a Small Tortoiseshell.

Cotesbach Landfill; plenty of Gulls on the water in the sandpit area and many more feeding on the tip,   4 Red Kites were flying around the area too.  The number of Starlings on the filling have increased in recent days to at least 400.

On the sandpit waters were 7 Little Grebes, 3 Wigeon, 12 Shoveler and a good number of Teal, plus the usual other Ducks and Geese.
