Plenty of birds on the move this morning between The Ness and Bundle Head. From 08:00 - 09:00 some
4,500 Woodpigeons flew south, the majority about 500m inland but some (including the largest flock of 1,000) following the coastline. In amongst them were an absolute minimum of seven
Stock Doves although I'm certain I overlooked many while frenetically counting dots in the sky. Six
Golden Plovers circling to the north over Teignmouth were also noteworthy. Other birds overhead included 20
Redwings, 24
Meadow Pipits, 43
Goldfinches, four
Linnets and a handful of
Chaffinches and
Pied Wagtails, while the bushes held nine
Song Thrushes, eight
Goldcrests, three
Chiffchaffs, three
Bullfinches and a
Stonechat.
