25th Oct - cloudy, giving sunny spells later, mod-fresh NW, 10C

Shawell Sandpit/Landfill; morning.

Very similar to usual, but 3 drake Pochard and 6 Wigeon were in, plus 8n Gadwall and 7 Mute Swans. 
12 Ravens were having a good time in the wind around the spinney.

A Great Spotted Woodpecker flew along the lane hedge trees.

Brandon Marsh; afternoon.

One aim was to find passerine roving flocks, however I didn't find any!

On East Marsh were c120 Lapwing and c70 Wigeon, plus a good number of Teal and Shoveler.

A drake Mandarin had been seen earlier, unusual here, it took quite awhile to find it sitting on a branch under cover over the water.


I did a bit of a fungi forage, plenty to find here.
