Autumn Watch at Normanby Park

Well not the BBC team but me - had some great autumn visitors in the park this morning including; 2  Crossbills, 6 Siskins, 30 Pink Footed Geese flying over, up to 8 Jays collecting acorns, 10 Mistle Thrush plus the regulars; Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, large mixed tit flock, Nuthatch, Bullfinch, Goldfinch.  But the spectacle of the moment has to be the rutting Red Deer - there is the most fabulous stag strutting his stuff around the females and he is making the most fabulous noises, I hope to get some photos of him later this week.

Afternoon update - whilst stood in the front garden looking at the mindless vandalism of my car (which took place at the weekend) a further 80 Pink Feet flew over and a Grey Wagtail 20 secs later.
