Redwings Heading West

Had a quick walk to the Mill Lakes and back via the Pit Tip before work this morning. At Dawson's Corner a Sparrowhawk flew past me along the paths whilst hunting, but otherwise it was fairly quiet. There were three Gadwall and seven or so Teal at the Mill Lakes, and small groups of Redwing were moving through to the west, including a group of 25-30 birds that I saw with Norman who was also out for the morning. Heading back onto the Pit Tip Top more small groups of Redwing were passing through to the west, fairly regularly, with about a hundred birds seen heading west throughout the morning. Small numbers of Meadow Pipit were still around, and Skylark too - with two singing males in the morning sun. Still no sign of any chats, so I guess they've moved on.
