Quintuple dip day

On Saturday 5th October, best birds of the day were the 4 adult- winter Mediterranean Gulls on Links road car park, missed the YBW and Ouzel along the North Denes slope, missed the Black Red at Hamilton road (still haven't seen one this year!), missed the Purple Sand at Ness Point and the RV Darter just N of Birds Eye in the weedy patch, a day to forget! Rob spotted a pale Buzzard flying north hassled by around 8 Carrion Crows. Best bit was seeing Barry W, Rob Will, Chris M. I did however hear at least 2 Redwings "tseeping" behind the southern section of the Oval in the tall trees at the back. Parties of 5 and 15 Brent Geese seen flying south over the sea. Later 2 Redwings were heard at Fallowfields, but not seen.
