Long Valley Autumn 2010

Tempted by Mike's photos I took a walk around LV this morning.  The starlings were still present but dispersed into two or three flocks and were very mobile, mostly over towards the river.  I didn't pick up on either Chestnut-cheeked or Daurian - althought there was one darker bird in one flock.

Other birds:

Stonechat x1 (first of the year for me)
Oriental Reed Warbler x1
Grey-headed Lapwing x1

This afternoon (3.45-6pm)

Dusky Warbler
Pallas' Grasshopper Warbler x2
Oriental Reed Warbler
Black-browed Reed Warbler 2+
Peregrine (didn't see a chain- that's terrible)
Wryneck
Yellow-breasted Bunting x5
Yellow Wagtail
Red-throated Pipit- 10+
Chinese Starling x7

Mike K can probably add more detail. There was a possible immature Citrine Wagtail in amongst the Yellow Wagtails - distinctly pale, strong wing bars.  
Nice big flock of munias about too.  Very birdy- lots of small stuff flitting overhead.
