Garden ticks today - 1 golden eagle, a Kate Humble, a Chris Packham and a Iolo Williams, and a large flock of mixed cameramen. All against a backdrop of 1100 or so golden plover counted by John Davies. This Thursday's BBC Autumn Watch should provide a fascinating insight into the world of the Aber starlings. The snow buntings took a break from seed eating to pose on the breakwaters. A pair of chough have been regular visitors to the dunes for the past week.
