A quiet autumn afternoon at Staines Moor

Moderate north-westerlies and showers produced a few migrants at Staines Moor this afternoon: a flighty male Stonechat (photo below) at the north end associating with 3 Northern Wheatear, 40 Meadow Pipit, 40 Linnet, 3 Chiffchaff and 1 Yellow Wagtail (heard overhead). Also seen were 2 Reed Bunting, 10 Goldfinch, 1 Kestrel and 1 Kingfisher and a Little Egret on the Colne.

Also 1 Eurasian Sparrowhawk was noted on Stanwell Moor.
