Flooded Meadows at Old Amersham

26th November..... Yet more Winter Thrushes.

At work at Lee Common this morning at 9.20am a large movement of Redwings all heading NW. Maybe 500. Too many to count, for around 5 minutes kept coming over in waves  of 100 plus at a time. Have never seen so many. Also Fieldfares chattering in nearby treetops. At home after lunch a raptor stooped at speed from high, wings folded tight back, then over the garden across the fields and gone. All over in 3 seconds and not sure what it was. Thinking a male Sparrowhawk that was soaring on a ‘prospecting’ flight and saw something in the garden, and on it’s way down saw me and decided to carry on.
Stewart.
