At least a dozen Dusky WS in the N14 element of Newline Paddock this morning. None in the M14 bit nor further down the road. They still looked prety comfrtable sitting around and knocking off the odd insect.
(Also 1 Brown Treecreeper in the SE corner of the paddock and 6 Double-barred Finches beside the road about 200m past the track to the fireworks magazines ie towards the Quarry.)

precise i could see 37 more or less at once) on the North-West border this
morning.

Good
idea to keep track of the DWSs, view monitoring migratory or other character.
I suggested a little coordinated reporting last year, the results of
which I summarised (I think). As I recall there was a July record

Thanks to those who
gave me directions.
Went out this am and
saw 6 Flame Robins, a flock of approx 50-60 Dusky woodswallows. Some of
the woodswallows were chasing the robins. 2 Eu Goldfinch, 2 Red Brow
Finches, 2 Black faced cuckoo shrike, 2 Wedge tailed eagles flying and another 2
raptors that I could not identify. One being harrassed by the woodswallow
flock. Lovely day out there today.
