With the winding back of the clocks comes the depressing prospect of no post work birding mid-week. However this afternoon I managed to get away early, and after a bit of local info(cheers Paul) got down to Sidestrand as the sun was setting and managed to relocate the Twite that were there. I got a few shots at a high ISO because of the poor light, and it was soon apparent that a few of the birds were colour-ringed but unfortunately I could only secure a single complete combination to submit to the relevant coordinators. I counted 21 birds in flight as the darkness was drawing in. Never mind, they were a nice patch tick, I now just need Shore Lark to finish that little set of winter passerines!
