More Less Birds

What a downer this am's walk around Queensbury South was; so far this Autumn's migration is the worst I've ever known.
The Park was like a cemetery (which it soon will be if The Council have their way) no Thrushes save one Blackbird with just a few Tit sp. for support.

A surprise bird and therefore probably bird of the day was a briefly singing Skylark. Otherwise it was down to 4 Meadow Pipit, 2 Pied Wagtail, c90 Starling, c75  small dull sp. 1 LBBG over & c34 Lapwing.

Roll on Armageddon 🙇

PS as I was leaving Madame Bigelow's Health Spa for distressed Gentlemen last night at 2130 hours I heard the contact calls of a couple of  Redwing. Appropriately there was an E'ly breeze operating 😀.
