Late update for yesterday
Sparrowhawk was added during the day.
I was looking at twitter yesterday evening and noticed a few comments about Redwings being heard going over during dark so decided to go out and have a listen.
heard Redwing but then shortly after had a very noisy flock of Common Scoter go over this was at 20:58
I sat in the back garden until 10.30
7 groups of Common Scoter passed over along with 3 Redwings, Carrion Crow and a Golden plover all heard going over in darkness.
Great experience
