Not a lot of note of late - overhead passage at my local downland site seemed to quickly drop off during the first part of a stormy November - even with improved conditions yesterday I could only muster a Brambling and some woodpigs (c200). [Northerlies have just dropped the temperatures somewhat; first frost yesterday morning; single figures].
This morning I visited Whale Chine and soon heard a calling Snow Bunting along the coast, not far from the car park; however, I didn't initially see it on the deck - only after carrying on half a mile or so west towards Atherfield, I heard it again (or perhaps another?) - and got to see it too, albeit briefly, along the field's edge; nice to see and hear one to some extent. Also, I tried the east side of the Chine and encountered a Short-eared Owl along the coastal path there.
