In Cwm Dulas floodwater had attracted 60 Teal and 30 Mallard. A Goosander flew over.
Birds seen above the valley in Long Wood included the following; Treecreeper3, Marsh Tit2, Stock Dove1, Redpoll13, Siskin6, Crossbill2, Redwing20, Fieldfare80, Raven20. A large flock of perhaps 3000 Starlings were gathered tightly in the trees near one of the hill forts quite early in the morning and I wondered whether they had roosted here. I saw a very large flock there almost exactly a year ago too. Another bird that was more evident than usual were Jays. I saw 20 a year ago and 19 today. Again, I was left pondering whether these were all local birds that were simply behaving in a more conspicuous way or whether some at least were part of a small autumnal influx.
