The weather was pretty rough in the morning but had calmed considerably by mid-afternoon. The recently scraped Broadfield was relatively bare but a pair of
Red-legged Partridges took advantage of the disturbed ground, although only showing distantly. Migrants noted included two
Pied Wagtails, four
Meadow Pipits and two
Chiffchaffs. A
Grey Heron flopped through the rain, two
Mistle Thrushes were seen around Chipstead Meadow, nine
Fieldfares were feeding in Broadfield and three
Redwings flew over. A
Little Owl was singing in the early evening and
Pheasants were rather conspicuous, with seven counted. A 2cy ♀
Sparrowhawk performed at Reads Rest late on.
