I only saw 2 Reed Buntings drop in. Two flocks totalling 200 Starlings flew at treetop height up the valley at 16.30 as the first Tawny Owl called. From 16.00 to about 16.20 whistling of Teal came from the flood north of the river. There were also calls from residents like Great Spotted Woodpecker, Wren and Grey Herons.
