There was a steady and constant south easterly movement of 

1500 Wood Pigeons for the first hour or so, with a decent enough push of 

515 continental Starlings west, north west, in 19 flocks, on and off  throughout 

the morning.   The Woodpeckers are intriguing!

Collared Dove 12 in one flock - very unusual.   

Great Spotted Woodpecker 5 (1+ 1 + 1+ 2) flying high.

Redwing 3.   Chaffinch 5.  Brambling 1.

Going west north west:

Starling  515 in 19 flocks.
