28th Oct - sunny am, becoming cloudy pm, light westerly, 15C

Lutterworth country park; a look here this morning as it gives a good vista for migration and has a small valley that helps channel the birds.  Small flocks of Redwings with the odd Fieldfare with them moved over westward.  A flock of 14 Goldfinch, several Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Bullfinch and a single Lesser Redpoll was about in the park.

Shawell Lagoons; the lagoons were quiet this afternoon, although Carl spotted 3 colour ringed Black-headed Gulls, one had a Polish ring, the others we have to check their origins.  Also, colour ringed Great-Black backed and Lesser-Black backed were seen.  A Cormorant was present and a Shelduck flew past twice.  A Green Woodpecker was exploring the banks for food.

The occasional Red Admiral butterfly was seen flying.
