Mandarin perched up a tree, Nuthatch at ones feet. Curlew in the river. Pr each Grey & Red-legged Partridge.
Good views of a Siskin pair had by DM & DW, I had to be content with a brief flight view but no complaints after the harvest we all enjoyed.

It was a pleasure to have a conversation with birder Gordon who would like to be remembered to messrs HC & BS.
On a different theme I wonder if any local birders saw the Ring-necked Parakeet in Queensbury the other day. One worthy described it as a Blue-fronted Amazon! This sighting was reported on the online Queensbury forum which I have no personal knowledge of.
